I recently posted about my dilemma in having to sell a T1600, which is 1) brand new, 2) UNOPENED , 3) must sell It seems that you all only read #3, the must sell part I had offers as low as $200, get REAL! WAKE UP! NO WAY! I'm offering a deal that's reasonable..... mailorder is going for $550+ the closest I get to that..... gets it. DON't bother going lower than $475 since THAT's what it cost.... (dealers get prices, not STEALS) I'm being honest cause I NEED to sell, but i'm not going to be stupid If you want a GOOD deal, call me at work (607)-272-2225 or email me back. Somebody's gonna get a good deal.... i'll tell you that... BUT NOT A $200 MODEM......

And another thing..........I'm not sure you're real.

Especially since that is from a dealer with (hopefully) all the standard guarantees, reasonable expectation for correct packing and shipping, credit card availability, etc. On the other hand, even unopened, what happens if the modem from you is bad? Can you arrange for immediate shipment of a replacement? Will there be problems in getting warranty service? I don't know about Telebit, but with a lot of other companies the first level of warranty service is through the dealer you bought the thing from. So you need to sell the modem. Fine. Why should you make a profit on it? That's asking someone else to pay for your problems. A lot of companies charge a 20% restocking fee if you return something for reasons other than incompatibilities. What will the dealer you bought it from give you for it?

ME!, I said so the first post, that's WHY i'm offering it for the price I am. I can't take Credit cards over the phone but i will in person, as for warranty etc, well, same as if you bought it from a dealer. Re: restocking fees, That's JUST what i'm trying to avoid, Dealers PAY restocking too. I'm just looking for someone who wants a good modem, ay a good price, i'm NOT looking to make money (in fact I'm losing money that's tied up in it) Again, it's a telebit T1600, 9600baud, v32,v42,v42bis Offers of $475 or more..... best offer gets it (and WHEre did you see it offered for $499 - it's a NEW model!!!)
