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!

Thanks for your words of wisdom Rob. Now read the Axim rules and have a nice day.:approve:
