15:39.13 | KingAztech | Is anyone interested in buying a C3200? |
15:39.29 | KingAztech | I've tried customizing it but it's making me pull my hair out of my head |
15:39.33 | Tomoe | owned |
15:39.40 | KingAztech | and i cant return it >.> |
15:39.42 | KingAztech | oh |
15:39.44 | Tomoe | how much would it go for then? |
15:39.50 | Tomoe | hi btw |
15:41.11 | KingAztech | I'm not too sure... folks down http://www.oesf.org/forum/ are selling it for £200+ |
15:41.31 | KingAztech | I've registered and activated my account but i need to be approved by the owner or something |
15:43.26 | Tomoe | when did you buy it |
15:43.36 | KingAztech | over the summer holiday |
15:43.48 | KingAztech | (2008) |
15:45.09 | KingAztech | I'm afraid to sell it on ebay... who knows hardly anyone will bid and i will loose quite a bit of money lol |
15:45.43 | Tomoe | lol |
15:45.51 | Tomoe | put a reserve price then |
15:46.18 | Tomoe | why did you buy it, there are much better options these days |
15:46.19 | Tomoe | ? |
15:46.46 | frostschutz | I put my C1000 up for sale for 300 Euro or so (including SD 1GB, CF LAN, CF WLAN), but no one wanted it ;) |
15:46.57 | frostschutz | so I keep it |
15:47.32 | Tomoe | yeah |
15:47.41 | Tomoe | I'm afraid it will be the same for you, KingAztech |
15:48.04 | Tomoe | if I was in market for a pda/micropc today, I wouldn't go for a zaurus |
15:48.08 | KingAztech | Well, it's kinda a sad story. A friend of mine, quite geeky and really into pda/linux etc. talked about getting one but never had the money to do so... i bought him it for his birthday but he died the night before in a car crash |
15:48.53 | Tomoe | oh |
15:48.58 | KingAztech | so i decided to explore the c3200 but it's way to complex. It can do a lot but you need to put a lot of effort, buy cards, and have a lot of knowledge which i dont have |
15:49.10 | Tomoe | well |
15:49.13 | Tomoe | if so |
15:49.19 | Tomoe | sell it on ebay for whatever price it gets |
15:49.33 | Tomoe | then spend that on flowers and candles for the friend =) |
15:50.26 | KingAztech | He past away a few months ago, besides i just checked out ebay and it seems that there is already one listed |
15:50.30 | KingAztech | and it's at £30 atm |
15:50.32 | KingAztech | lol |
15:50.50 | Tomoe | eh |
15:51.17 | Tomoe | why weren't you able to return it? |
15:51.43 | KingAztech | you can only return it if its faulty |
15:52.23 | frostschutz | wow |
15:52.37 | frostschutz | wish I had a friend who'd give me a Z as a present... I had to buy my own ;) |
15:52.44 | Tomoe | well |
15:52.47 | KingAztech | lol |
15:53.03 | Tomoe | seeing how that came in package with dying one day later, I wouldn't |
15:53.19 | frostschutz | can't you do ads for free in a local newspaper or sth |
15:53.36 | frostschutz | or maybe you have a linux user group in your area? |
15:53.38 | frostschutz | find some geeks |
15:53.43 | frostschutz | sell it to them |
15:54.22 | KingAztech | That's why i'm here. Thought there were some fans in here.... i'm hoping once i got accepted in OESF i'll have some folks interested there since i'll be happy with £200 or something near it |
15:54.38 | frostschutz | I'm afraid you will only find people here who already own a Z ;) |
15:54.57 | Tomoe | yup |
15:54.58 | Tomoe | =) |
15:54.58 | frostschutz | I definitely won't buy another one :) |
15:55.07 | KingAztech | lol, probably, but i checked out their fs/ft section and it seems like people are buying/selling their stuff |
15:55.20 | Tomoe | a lot more people are selling I'd say |
15:55.21 | Tomoe | =)) |
15:55.24 | frostschutz | you can try |
15:55.32 | frostschutz | nothing to lose after all :;) |
15:56.12 | Tomoe | yup |
15:56.14 | Tomoe | =) |
15:56.21 | KingAztech | lol |
15:56.45 | KingAztech | lol, worth a try... i dont mind if i loose quite a bit of money... better then letting it catch dust |
15:57.15 | KingAztech | frostschutz, what would you say is a really good price for a c3200? |
15:57.21 | frostschutz | dunno |
15:57.32 | Tomoe | well, since it was supposed to be a present you won't be losing any money |
15:57.33 | frostschutz | I wasn't able to sell mine so I'm the wrong person to ask |
15:57.39 | Tomoe | heh |
15:57.45 | frostschutz | start high, you can always go lower ;) |
15:58.17 | KingAztech | lol, start too high and i'll end up like you :P |
15:58.26 | frostschutz | my price wasn't that high |
15:58.33 | frostschutz | a new c1000 is 350 euro here in germany |
15:58.44 | frostschutz | I tried to sell mine in perfect condition with tons of addons for 300 |
15:58.58 | KingAztech | really? oh, i guess people don't like it nowadays |
15:59.01 | frostschutz | lan and wlan cf cards are also hard to come by here ;) |
15:59.18 | Tomoe | KingAztech: yes, there are a lot more better options these days unfortunately (for you) |
15:59.21 | frostschutz | if I had to buy the stuff new I'd probably be at 500+ euro |
15:59.28 | Tomoe | nokia tablets for example |
15:59.34 | frostschutz | the main problem is netbooks |
15:59.37 | KingAztech | Tomoe yeah lol |
15:59.39 | Tomoe | that too |
15:59.43 | Tomoe | -> netbooks |
15:59.47 | frostschutz | no one will buy a Z anymore when you can get a linux netbook for less money |
15:59.54 | Tomoe | yeah |
15:59.54 | frostschutz | if it were me I'd buy a netbook today too |
16:00.01 | KingAztech | if it was me i wouldnt have bought the Z but he liked it... |
16:00.09 | frostschutz | same probably goes for the geek friend ;) |
16:00.15 | KingAztech | yeah, lol i bought a AA1 |
16:00.17 | Tomoe | what about local LUGs etc |
16:00.25 | Tomoe | eh |
16:00.31 | Tomoe | I'm thinking about the Note Mini |
16:00.44 | Tomoe | HP |
16:01.24 | frostschutz | it's not just the Z, PDA in general are not hot sellers right now. You either get a phone (smart mobile pda-like edition), a navi (car gps solution), or a netbook/laptop. PDA is no longer on any list |
16:01.42 | Tomoe | hear hear |
16:01.58 | Tomoe | the population that'd be interested in a Z is tiny these days |
16:02.04 | Tomoe | and most of them do have one or more already |
16:02.05 | Tomoe | =)) |
16:02.36 | Tomoe | if you're not willing to "lose" quite a bit of the money you paid for it you should keep it and play with it |
16:07.30 | frostschutz | oh, while we're on the topic of geeky presents, my brother gave me a xilinx spartan-3e FPGA platform starter kit as a birthday present |
16:07.44 | frostschutz | not even opened the box, I simply don't have time for such a thing |
16:08.03 | frostschutz | wonder if I should sell it ... |
16:08.16 | frostschutz | but probably even fewer people want that than a Z |
16:08.24 | Sketch | probably most of the people who would buy a Z are buying a second one |
16:08.25 | Tomoe | hm |
16:08.48 | Tomoe | Sketch: they did it when sharp stopped producing z |
16:08.49 | Tomoe | =D |
16:08.58 | Tomoe | frostschutz: how much would you sell it for? |

16:09.13 | frostschutz | Tomoe: no idea |
16:09.26 | Tomoe | sounds interesting |
16:09.32 | Tomoe | maybe I should get into fpga |
16:09.34 | Tomoe | =)) |
16:12.29 | frostschutz | one is getting sold at ebay, it's at 56EUR already, still >2 days to go |
16:12.48 | frostschutz | I'll bookmark it and see how much it actually sells for ;) |

16:13.09 | Tomoe | ? |
16:14.10 | frostschutz | yup seems like it |
16:15.00 | frostschutz | 150$ doesn't sound too bad for a fpga solution (if you're interested in programming hardware) |
16:15.31 | Tomoe | well |
16:15.59 | Tomoe | if you decide to let it go for below 100$ let me know |
16:16.05 | frostschutz | but all the programming I do these days is in python, which is far away from hardware thankfully. I don't want to touch assembler ever again ;) |
16:17.02 | Tomoe | hah |
16:17.09 | Tomoe | maybe they'll have python-on-chip |
16:17.12 | Tomoe | hahah |
16:17.39 | Tomoe | I remember the pascal-on-chip hardware interpreters |
