what do u think guys?? seems like something is fishy here right? ... not to mention, shipping from Hong Kong
If it sounds too good to be true...
I wouldn't bother to avoid the disappointment
$122 US
That's quite a deal and tempting and now sold 42, wishing for some kind of verification it's legit.

All of his feedback as a seller are for nothing more than like $50. 15 feedback, of unrelated items to technology. Where does one magically get 80+ of these. And can sell them for half of what they sell for AND make a profit...
Look at some of their previous purchases.
Too fishy for me to order the Calimare this time around.
Location is Hong Kong. Almost guarantee that it's a fake.
anything coming from Hong Kong should always be approached with caution. Now Ebay does have rules again st selling counterfeit items, to the point that if caught the entire account will be disabled. Kinda Worth the risk at the price, just make sure you are not spending your rent money on it.
Alot like gambling IMO, you could get the legit thing at a great price, but also keep in mind its cheap enough to just order straight from Google, if you want to be 100% sure.
So people,
Looks like our doubts have been confirmed. The listing has now been removed from eBay.
You were just too good to be true.

Hi guys, I'm selling my lapdock for the Atrix. I bought it brand new during launch day at around $300 when bundled with phone. The lapdock is in perfect condition - Never dropped, scratched or put any kinds of drinks near it.
To be honest i've only used my Lapdock for a total of around 40 hours, i was working on a Windows Conversion for the dock but since I'm a Game Designer and I'm starting to get real serious with a project, i need to let go of it and get a real Laptop...i really like this lapdock its very light and very useful (especially after what Sogarth did with his mods).
I currently see onit priced Amazon, Ebay, and a few other sites that sell it for $200 as the lowest. I'm trying to sell it for $200 if possible.
Shipping to 94607?
Sure, that's not too far.
If you both can't make a deal, i am interested to buy this as well. However would you ship internationally ?
Refurbished lapdocks sell for $175.99 with free 2 day shipping from the AT&T website. Mine looked brand new.
Please ignore this post.
shipping to Nova Scotia Canada ?

Someone created a thread to sell a laptop he bought new and has used. People that are viewing the thread see someone else point them towards a refurbished unit from AT&T, as though to suggest it's better to go there than buy from the person who created the thread. AT&T refurbished units are a crapshot, you don't know what the previous issue was. They have no bearing on the OP's thread and is a full-on c*$kblock, if you will.
Tried PM'ing a couple of times but aint working! Will give 200 providing shipping to Melbourne Australia is not too expensive. PM me if you can
why the mods havent come in yet i dont know but this isnt the buy&sell section
OSNPA, are you suggesting that it would be better to keep an unwitting Atrix user in the dark, letting him or her purchase a used lapdock for around $35 more than the cost of an "officially" used lapdock, just so the seller will not be offended?
It's called market competition. An informed consumer living in the U. S. with the opportunity to purchase a refurbished dock from ATT would never pay more and wait longer for one unless he or she were doing the seller a favor.
To put it simply, if the seller intends to sell this dock to an ATT customer, he or she will have to lower the price or take advantage of someone's ignorance. In my opinion, it would be bad form to keep a consumer in the dark and just sit back and snicker as you watch a transaction (or in this case, a rip off) transpire. But hey, at least the seller didn't get his feelings hurt AND he made more than what he should have.
Fortunately for the seller, not everyone has access to a refurbished lapdock, specifically our friends overseas, and $200 is quite a bargain in that market. I think everyone has a chance to win in this situation, and to me, it seems like bad form to try and prevent this ideal scenario -- one in which no one feels cheated.
I don't mean to attack you, OSNPA, but I'm trying to understand what you have to gain by trying to foster a market on these forums in which the lapdock is kept at an artificially high price. Are you trying to sell one yourself? Anything to help me understand where you're coming from would be much appreciated.
To the seller, I think you will have no problem selling the dock for $200. (I would not have started so low.)
To anyone who does not have access to a refurbished lapdock, this price is almost impossible to beat.

Refurbished means it was broke...that means it will eventually break or have problems. mine looks like its from the assembly line.

That's actually not true. Refurbished is anything that has been brought back to factory specifications and tested to be working. Yes, some of these are broken units that have been repaired, but MANY others are just returned within the 30-day return period, especially for a once $400+ item like the lapdock. Mine also looks like its from the assembly line. More knowledge here: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/buy-refurbished-phones.jsp
I'm sure yours looks great though so happy selling!

Well, if customers are uninformed on the price of refurbished lapdocks when there's a thread dedicated to it in this very sub-forum, well I have no pity for them. It's a consumer's responsibility to educate themselves. He's not selling a refubished unit, it is not the same situation, so the prices should have no bearing on what the OP asks. Regardless of whether money is involved, think of it this way: a developer releases a ROM and the 1st response to that thread is another developer saying that he also released a ROM and go to this other thread to read all about it. You may like that idea, I don't know, to me it's a wtf moment.

Hhahaha i will buy one to test it and give to xda community some info about it.
So, has anyone bought one of these? My HOX fell down on hard asphalt a few days ago and the white housing got dents on three corners. After I got a proper pouch I would like to replace it because I plan to use the phone for at least two years. To be honest, I feel a little uncertain about ordering stuff on eBay from Chinese people. But so far I haven't seen an alternative.

WOW...wat you got against the Chinese bro. I admit that China does make cheap ripoffs of the real deal. But if the titles says its legit, you can buy it, and if you dont think its legit, just ask for moneyback.. Why you gotta make this so racist
How easy is it to replace the back cover? I mean, does it just come off and the other one goes on?
Its so easy, find some videos on youtube about this.

Hey, no offense intended. I've got nothing against the Chinese in general, e.g. I've got a very cool Chinese colleague. But I wondered if it is so easy to get your money back from a guy in China if he sells you a crap or fake product when you live in Europe. I would have asked the same if the housing had been offered by someone from Argentina or South Africa, simply because it's a different country far away and I have no experience with ordering from there. Calling this racist is nonsense.

Its not racist, the Chinese have form for knocking off everything and everything, even down to forging cancer drugs that instead of helping with the disease help to speed it up instead.... Those damn things have found their way into legit doctors surgeries.
So no, commenting on the fact the chinese regularly flog fake bunk is fact not racism.
Has anyone bought this yet?
I ordered this past weekend. I'm in Canada so it may take a week or two.
Hong Kong is not part of China so don't worry . I was told by a seller it was original by HTC so I should expected it to be exactly the same. I don't know whether to be assured or to find loads of flaws from the building process .
interesting. I've been waiting to see the inside of the case. Some places have been saying the body is manufactured by machining but that looks a lot more like an injection moulded part. Maybe a small mount of post machining / polishing.
the question is, how hard is it to apply it yourself to the device ?!
saw a couple of video's on how to replace the housing.....from the looks of it, scary
That's just me :cyclops:

What do you think? It's not for me but for the step-sons Birthday, He will probably trash it eventually so not willing to pay out on a decent handset, Looks fairly good?
Those Acer phone are usually pretty good, wanted to buy one of these too, but decided to go with another model instead. I think it's a very good buy at that price!
It almost sounds too good to be true, I noticed on ebay one seller is listing them at over £200, Amazon have them at £139 inc tax as they are supplied by Expansys, Well looks like I will be taking the plunge, Does seem a good deal, If it can stand the Step-sons lack of worth and respect and still work then I will be recommending it to all.

Indeed! Coolblue (a Belgian online store) sells them for about £185.
Keep us posted on how the phone works!
Looks like a good phone, go for it but also be sure to get a case if you're worried about the trashing.
Yes will do, Think may have to look for a Kevlar case

Just wondering if anyone has done business with them and how it went? Their prices are ridiculously low and i'm tempted to make a purchase from them but would like to hear some feedback before doing so.
Looks like they're a division of Alibaba.com. They basically make cheap chinese knockoffs and sell them dirt cheap. Been doing it for years, and they're a HUGE company.

Aliexpress is the smaller e-commerce arm of AliBaba. Alibaba is the biggest B2B companies in China.
It is like the ebay for big boys. They sell 1 piece to 10000000 pieces. However, there is a lot of fake stuff there.

Def not ordering anything I'd be concerned with getting a counterfeit of. I'm just looking at a vent holder, nothing special.
I have used Aliexpress and DHgate.com to sell things here in Dominican Republic. The shipping takes almost one month to get here so don't buy things that you need asap.
Keep yourself away from buying Memory Cards or Hard Drives, almost always are fake or have less capacity than listed.

if the price is ridiculously low, you should pay attention with it. Check seller's feedback info. By the way ,you can't Pay with Paypal on Aliexpress. If you wish to buy with Paypal, try www .beltal. com/compares, it claim "Shop All Dhgate/Aliexpress Items 2-15% off with Paypal & Beltal Escrow service. "

I am tempted to order that ( hope i won't fry my phone)... Anyone has an opinion on them or an advice?
Worth trying, I wanted to see what you get. Please let me know if it is ok. I'm gonna got one if it is ok.

I'd have to agree with that. But most of if not all of those same accessories ship from Hong Kong too...everything ordered from the site I posted might cost a few bucks more, but they're shipped from the USA and arrive much faster. To some, that's worth the few extra bucks spent.
