Linx 7 Windows 8.1 Tablet - €44 from Meteor (with CeX trade-in)

Sam Mac · 26-01-2015 3:37pm #1

Handy saving if you have a CeX in your area.. (of course you can always sell the phone elsewhere, or keep it yourself if you wish)

You can get the Linx 7 for €44 from Meteor this way;

-Add the Lumia 530 (Black or Yellow) Prepay and Linx 7 to your basket, and the €30 off 'bundle' promotion will apply, leaving your total at just under €89.98 for both.

Lumia 530: https://store.meteor.ie/phones/pay-as-you-go-phones/lumia-530
Linx 7: https://store.meteor.ie/tablets/linx-tab-7

OR

Here: https://store.meteor.ie/deal-of-the-month

-Sell the Lumia (Meteor locked, A condition) in-store/online to CeX for €46 cash (or €57 credit to spend at CeX) - https://ie.webuy.com/product.php?sku=SNOKL5304GDGMETA#.VMZSA_6sWFU

Your Linx 7 has now just cost you a mere €43.88 (or €32.98 if you took the CeX credit option) - bargain!

E-mail info@meteor.ie and get it cancelled, ordered one on its own last night also but cancelled it just now and ordered this instead. Incredible value for money really.

Emailed them now. Did they confirm cancellation for you quick enough?

I rang them but online non-billpay orders require cancellation by email. They said it would be no bother. Just waiting on the confirmation email now.

How would the tablet compare to Nexus 7? I got the one about 12 months ago for circa 100 from Argos.....

Completely different OS. The Linx is basically a mini PC in your pocket. Spec-wise it is about the same as the Nexus 7, except you have expandable memory on this guy up to 64GB, and a HDMI port which are two great features to have. Factor in the price of this and its a no-brainer. Sell it on a year down the road for 50 quid no problem.

Anyone know of a decent cover for this? Want to give it to staff to share i.e. see it get manhandled

Fresh Pots · 26-01-2015 6:14pm

Bargain of the year so far. Thanks op.

Mark Tapley · 26-01-2015 7:33pm

Anybody having problems getting the order processed? I'm using O2 money card so could be that I suppose.

EDIT: What's funny is that Meteor are advertising their 'Deal of the Month' for €149.99 for the *exact* same two products! :pac: https://store.meteor.ie/deal-of-the-month

--- This is an online promotion only it seems. ---

Great bargain Sam, decided to get this over the 8" bush tablet for 99 in Argos. I guess I can forgive you now for reneging on that Chinese tablet deal we had agreed on.

Sorry about that one pah, hopefully this one makes up for it.

CeX are grand, use them all the time here - nothing to worry about there.

Sam Mac · 26-01-2015 9:39pm

There appears to be only 5 tablets left in stock on the Meteor website guys, so get the orders in quick! :cool:

Sundance_Kid · 26-01-2015 9:40pm

Seem to only have the phone left in yellow, will you still be able to sell that?

How quickly do you get paid? If you go in store do you get paid there and then? If you sell to them online is there much of a wait?

Store pays you on the spot.

Online pays it to your bank account but it can take a while as their customer service is pretty slow in replying to emails - always telling you they are 'liaising with the team' and will 'revert back to you soon'. Let's just say it would be a whole lot easier to sell in-store.

Was planning on going in anyway, just curious thanks!

Yes, they will pay you €46 cash for either the Black or the Yellow.

Cheers OP, got sorted for the deal

Phone out of stock. Does the offer apply to any other models?
