content: The first one has been taken down and the second one is double the price and really looks like its had a hard life, the screen is awash with so many scratches that the screen looks milky.

content: The first 1 only had an hour or so left to run on it when I posted so will probably be back up tomorrow or whatever unless someone already scooped it.The second one was up for an offer so maybe get it down a bit depending on your haggling skillz but on a better 2nd look I agree probably better to give it a miss due to being quite rough.

content: I went for that and it would have been a steal had my offers been accepted so I ended up bidding and still got beat, oh well, another time.

content: There will be more for sure buddy. There always is! I saw another one with all the bells and whistles extras with it. I'm sure it was £200 or "best offer" and it may have been a 289 but I didn't check the condition of it.There are some real bargains to be had but you have to spot them quick.

content: Yeh there was 2 on there, the other one I posted about it being an a rough condition especially around the screen area, full of scratches but it did have all the new leads etc still in their packages, is the the one?The other one was very confusing as it auction start price and also make an offer and I made 2 offers which were rejected so I went with bids and I was wining the auction upto the last 2 seconds when it jumped to £182, shame because new they are well over £500, till thenext one.Just checked on the Bay this morning and there are about 3 or 4 of the 287's and 30 of the 289's most of the 289's are new. Seems odd that so many should be flooding onto the bay now, are discontinued or do they have inherent problems apart from chewing their way through batteries?
