post what you paid

I have recently been hearing alot of high prices for the new axims and im here to say your not very smart paying 500 dollars for a glorafied toy.

I bought my x51v on ebay for 199 in box unopened with 3year waranty and lots of extras like 2nd batery and screen protectors along with all the crap that came in the box like dock and case and power dongle also mine came with a 1gb sd card. So you see lots of people buy these things bulk and cant get rid of them and i thank them for it look at what all i got for $199 and $30 shipping.

I paid around $350 for a basic x50v from Dell. Not the best deal, but I still feel like I got my money's worth.

the point is that these units only cost the manufacture very little maby a few bucks and they sell for almost 500 that is a huge mark up!

I paid $350. I just can't trust people on ebay anymore; Some say new, never opened and stuff like that and you can clearly tell some of the stuff has been used, and when you punish them by giving a bad review they practically want you assassinated.

I bought mine in the UK so whatever you paid in the US I paid more:

Just two small points they are not toys to all of us for some of us they are tools of the job and its spelt "glorified" not "glorafied" - if you are going to slate us for what we pay for our devices and the device we own at least get your spelling right.

And no you won't make many friends around here

I paid $290 on eBay, total of about $310 with shipping. If you're patient, I'd really suggest keeping an eye on the auction sites for good deals - look for auctions ending offtimes, or ones that weren't correctly listed (wrong category, slight misspellings, that sort of thing).

Bought my X30M used from a Co-worker for $75.00 with a cradle, AC power cable, two travel sync cables, spare battery, dell folding keyboard, dell leather flip case, manual and CD. He had just upgraded to a X51V and has been cussing it every since.
