[Request][Opinions] 2gig nano type mp3 player 83 euro

ok, dont want to be the one that claims this is a bargain, but is it?

it looks the same as the ebay ones that people have alot of trouble with, so i said i'd better ask before pouncing.

http://www.memory-configurator.com/p...ite/index.html

seems to have some nice features and specifications.

also, is the company reliable? i have seen offers from the same company posted here before, so some feedback would be appreciated.

Argos were selling this for €36.49 in their 'September specials' catalogue — but I'm not sure when the offer expired, might be back up to the €59.99 mark by now... (=+£39.99?)

Anyway, I bought one, and it's still going strong (battery included) a fortnight later!

The company is fairly reliable, I have dealt with them a few times. Decent enough price.

Can anyone tell the difference between this one and this one. They look slightly difference, and are different prices, but they seem to have the same features.

The only difference I see is with the one for 44 euro Buy It Now is that is says Camera under Additional Features and not in the other one.

Oh yeah, thanks. It doesn't say anything abot the camera in the description. Can't be very good, probably got worth paying any extra for...

yes these HK/China sellers play around with prices a lot, some items from the same seller have free shipping, others have lower shipping charges + ins & others higher shipping with no ins,.it's better to bid on the free ship items from this seller,...and BTW the 4gb units are actually 2gb !! I knew this when I orderd mine, this seller has sent extra players to buyers who pulled him/her up on this so no harm done,..four of these items cost me between €47 & €50 each total price through my letterbox,..which I think is worth it.

I bought a 2GB Samsung YP-U2 in that newsagent beside O'Connell bridge for around €100. Its well made, little sounds oks, menus & controls are a little quirky. I prefered my old shuffle. But as an impulse buy it was a good deal. Didn't have a FM radio, some do.
