Pick up? Like the back of a truck/unguarded warehouse/illegal imports/fakes?

Why would anyone pay this when you can get a TB for 100 quid? Portability is great, but it's not worth that much.

I'll give you 50 quid for one OP.

Korvanica

Well then I say 50-100e each would move them fast you would prob get yourself 500e together by the weekend if they were 50e if they were 100 you would defiantly sell them but a bit slower I suspect. Let me know what you are selling them for and I might take one off you. Would obviously need to test it first but if worked out will give you the thumbs up here if anyone else is interested.

Was going to suggest ebaying them but that might be hard with all the fakes out their

Jumpy

OP why are all your posts based around scams?

skyline51510

@jumpy how is this about a scam i asked a price to sell the usbs at so f**k off and bother someone else and i got them in the same place i got my imac, a brother of mine works in usa and the design company he works for gives them to the design team to use and theres always extra left over every year as the old ones dont be full .I bought a 21.5 imac on boards a while back and was telling him about it, and he sent me a 25 imac for about €400 including shipping, 16gb of ram and 1tb memory so i sold mine to a college friend.Thanks for all the help do:rolleyes:, this is a good site for information and advice:rolleyes:.I think ill ask my 7 year old about it she might have a better idea than ye w***ers.:mad:

And this is an adult answer?

skyline51510

goes well with the other bull i got

mememo

Being fair 90% of the people selling these on the net are fakes and the users here probably thought that you were a troll if you had of explained where you got them in op you would not have got such answers

So the company just hands out probably a week worth of pay in USB's to everyone on the design team? And theres 10 left over? And they let your brother just take them? What is the name of this wondrous company you speak of?

But in all fairness can you not see why we are suspicious here?

to be fair Skyline, you're very new here and your only other thread was about a scam too, of course suspicions are higher than normal + the fact that 256gb flash cards "bought somewhere cheap" are 1 of the biggest electronic scams going.

The only non adult posts here are yours so far + you're very defensive.

nothing wrong with a playful tounge in cheap post. and people were offering to buy some. You've yet to prove them wrong with it being legit.

With your attitude, i hope you dont try to sell any by knocking on doors or anything.
Im withdrawing my offer to buy.
GLWS.

totally agree.

What kind of design company sells all their imacs at the end of the year, and buys ludicrously expensive 256gb USB flash drives for all their design employees? what would the USB stick do that a cheap 2.5" external HDD cant do?

there's a whiff of porkies in the air.

skyline51510

@jaffa no there wasnt 10 left over but 36 to be exact and he works for apple.I suppose they get them cheap themselves they but i had to buy them i didnt get them for free and i only wanted a price .When they come ill have a picture of them and might take one out of its packet and put a couple of hundred gb of drawings and stuff to show anyone who comes and looks to buy.

skyline51510

Yes i am new to this site, bought an imac and sold a laptop and car here so far and was going to buy another laptop today but was to late with an offer(not for me):(.Im not a scammer the last question was about an imac (i think) and i was the one been scammed but i got some good advice here and ended up buying and selling a few things here because of it.Ive never messed anyone around on this site but i think i might have to move on.

skyline51510

@tea bag they dont sell there imacs every year, but they do every couple of years.The usbs are used for design work they do from home and are used because of there size ie small enought to be put on there id cards that are around there neck and also the gb size a 2gb would be no good for a software designer that works for the most advanced computer company on the planet.

k.p.h

@skyline don't be too worried about defending yourself on here, see the thing is what your selling is often faked so that probably threw a few people in that direction(including myself I must admit).

But rather than asking for an explanation or showing some concern In case you purchased them or something people opposed you with some tongue in cheek comments and put you on the defensive. Happens all the time on forums it's just the way they work's unfortunately, I'v seen many a interesting thread dragged under into frivolous bull with no one to blame really except the fact that usual manners don't apply online :rolleyes:

Anyway with your price range you will have load's of people interested including me so give me a shout. That amount of storage is very useful I lost a lot of code and design work when my HD got corrupted some pain. With the amount of media be moving around these days 16gb is not alot.

GarIT

Id be interested if your selling, give me a shout.
