I updated the original post to include my ebay ID

Hello everyone, I see I'm getting some views but not to much interest. I'm looking for honest/contructive feebback on what everyone thinks about the unit and the offer price. I honestly think it's pretty reasonable. Shoot me back some feedback if you would.

Thanks, Jeff

the price is pretty close to outlet pricing, so that's not the problem

the video card issue, darkloki brought up, is a bit of a problem as a 7950gtx scores 500 points higher than the 7900gtx in 3dmark06. Most people tech savvy people here know that the 9750gtx isn't that much better than the 7900gtx, so it's only a minor issue

the real problem is that you only have 3 posts, all of which are in this thread trying to sell your item. that always raises a red flag here, when a person's first post is trying to buy/sell something. this forum isn't as active as the other notebook forum so you're not advertising to many people here

although your ebay id shows you have some good rep, you might want to take a picture of the boxes with your user name next to them just to make people more comfortable

i think the price is reasonable but it's not selling for 3 reasons

1) many people can't afford it

2) many people don't need it

3) the main reason is that there are too little people who visit this site just to buy laptops, you should try to sell it via ebay or some other ads

I will probably throw them up on ebay but with all their fees and everything it sometimes doesn't make sense to list the higher dollar items there plus they give you such a hard time on these items because the high price. I do have these listed on a few more site besides this. It doesn't hurt to get them out there to as many sites as possible. I've attached a picture of the units just in case that was detering anyone.

Thanks, Jeff

Everyone, I've lowered the price a bit and also added a note that I'd gladly accomodate a local pickup if anyone needs it. Keep in mind that we can accept major CC's directly through our merchant account. We understand we are a "newbie" but everyone has to start somewhere. For those that did PM, I've replied back.
