Try thinking about that for more than half a second and you will realise that probably half the people on this board are here precisely because they bought their PDA on Ebay! I know I did and there is absolutely no reason why an Ebay person is less nice to sell to than an 'Axim buddy' as you put it.

I have now had 2 Palm PDAs, then got an Axim X5 and now have an Axim X51v. Fine if you are loaded but for me there is not a chance on this planet I would ever have been able to buy either the X5 or my beloved X51v if I had not been able to get a good deal from someone who no longer had a use for theirs and was willing to sell it to a good home at somewhat less than they paid for it.

Sorry but that reply smacks of making this site into a clique forum and if I thought that was the case, I would make this my last post here as I do not wish to be a part of a group of narrow minded people who just want to sit and boast about how clever they are at this stuff to the rest of us who don't!

Good on you for trying this idea out. I see no reason why people should post links to auctions selling unrelated items as that will turn it into just a corridor for Ebay sellers but I am always on the lookout for some PDA accessories so if I see a link to Ebay from here I would happily go and look and maybe bid.

Let's not start the 'Aximsite is wonderful, Ebay is rubbish' mentality. It's as stupid as the ten year old who insists his football team is the only good one in the world!
