[FA:Global] SmartBook G138 w 2600mAh batteries, DC Car charger & Slipcase

As the title suggests, there is a G138 on eBay with goodies:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Book-Digital-Co-SmartBook-G138-Windows-CE-4-2...

I thought you still had more to sell...

Anyway, it sounds like a good deal for the fastest HPC ever

WOW! That is... I have always loved those. That is a great deal so far...

Nope, I sold out early last year. This one is in effect my G138. So find it a happy home.

Note that it's a friend who is selling things for me, I don't have the time.

I think it's a great deal too, but no one is bidding

Price is right...but auction might be changed to make it more appealing. Things I would do:

1. Change desktop on the G138 to a Windows XP scene
2. Put coffee cup or something in picture to better show relative size
3. Screenshots of programs running, especially a game, spreadsheet, showing a movie, and the internet (MSN.com or some familiar page)
4. Tech specs at the end, start off with a personalized statement of why it is so great, especially for college students and mobility
5. Don't use the word refurbished...makes someone think it was once broken, instead emphasize it was your personal device and you have taken special care with it, but have to sell due to hard times.
6. Since it is silver, use a dark cloth for background, also include box somewhere....maybe more pictures embedded in text

and last...and very important, change title to something like: Smartbook G138 UMPC Subnotebook Netbook (in other words, use key terms that will show up in a search)

There is nothing about shipping to the US...would you do so? If so, what would the costs be in USD....

It's the downside of not listing it yourself Rich.

There is international shipping on it, it's just that the new ebay layout hides all of that from you on a separate tab.

The Black one I bought on ebay (in full retail box and mint condition) cost me £55 (though had to replace cells, new ones provided). Hope you get more but have a feeling it will go to someone for a very good deal (hopefully someone on here).

What happened to the auction? I just checked and ebay said bidding has ended for this item.

The 10 day listing expired at 1:30, no one bid.

If anyone wants to buy it with me privately , make me an offer.

sorry C:Amie I just bought a black smartbook. I needed the charger mainly as I got mine lost (and always wanted a black one ). shame you're selling yours though. I'll ask around if a friend is interested here.

Trying this again: (I always do what Rich tells me, lol)

New Listing:

For those who had trouble before, this ends 8th January, 2010 at 6:17:08 PM GMT

Looks like you got a bidder already. Good luck.

I was at pains to start it cheaper than last time, thisis after all a suped-up package.

Is the current bidder anyone from here?

Good luck I think should be aimed at interested parties.

C:Amie I have some questions about the G138: is the screen visible in the sunlight? I need a cheap machine to bring with me on the beach. The S3 is good for that purpose but is too small for my eyes. How many hours lasts the battery with wifi or gsm connection?

Thanks in advance
