Expert opinions needed: Great, good or bad deal? (used X51v)

Bickered with seller and $250 CDN is a low as he will go.
Includes original box, manuals, cradle, etc.

Also includes 1GB SD and 2GB CF cards, carrying case and extra battery.

Condition seems OK to me?

Pull the trigger?

that would be about $300.00USD

Not me, for that price I'd look at the new Ipaq 200 series for a little more
OR
a converged PPC Phone with more functionality

[dgoldring]

Thanks, Rad. I was trying to figure out that conversion. I agree. $300 USD seems too high, especially since this one is getting phased out and newer models are coming from the likes of HP soon enough.

I would not go higher than $200 USD.

I would take it. If thats the product you want. An axim x51v with those features in good condition will easily sell over that price. But you know that old economic theory its only worth what you're willing to pay.

The Canadian dollar is currently trading at $1.07 USD so it's closer to $270 USD. Our dollar is quite strong right now.
Anyway, I'm not looking for convergence (phone) but, rather, a good quality PDA.

Thanks for your advice!

I don't know what price used x51v's are going for in US/Canada but they are regularly going for anything between £160 - £250 ($320 - $500) on ebay, depending on included accessories. Sometimes even more.

eBay.co.uk - x51v, x51v PDAs, x51 items at low prices

$250 seems quite reasonable by the UK's standards.

If you don't get it, I will.

If you don't get it, I will.

I got a spare X51V (for the future) on ebay about 3 months ago for $225 and it included a 1gb SD card, one high capacity battery w/cover (2200), two standard batterys (1100). It also included being still covered from Dell until January 2008.

Actually... that sounds like a pretty good deal to me... go for it!

For that price, without warranty No.

[Freddy_Kruger]

I bought a brand new one last year and even though its great I would not have bought it if I knew that it was the last one Dell was making. I mean what about accessories like a hard shell carrying case, all that stuff will be hard to come by.

But $250 and no 14% tax, not bad. I paid about $600 all in, for mine.

[DoDoubleGeo]

That looks like a good deal. Check out eBay, as someone else said, and you will see similar setups going for more.

[ricjaywhit]

Go for it! Sounds like a good deal.

US and Canadian money are pretty much the same right now.

Latest figures show $1US=$1.02 CAN

[ShirazD]

actually the canadian dollar is worth more now -- $1 CAD = $1.02 USD. Apparently this is due both to a falling US dollar and a rising Canadian dollar.
