I have bought some stuff from Liksang before. (Xbox Stuff)
I will probobly buy my Flu from them, is there some reason I should buy some where els?

Just asking don't got the money for it yet.
Hope I will be lucky to get one that can overclock to 166mhz like my old one.
 
Go through GBAX.com they sell garaunteed 166mhz gp's and their customer relations are better (my gp's just broke itself and they are happy to sort it out), also they will pre-register and set ur gp up and give u a free cd full of useful tools, games and emus.
 
If you are in the UK I would definately advise you to get one from GBX.com as they will be far easier and cheaper to deal with (in terms of post) if anything goes wrong.

I bought my first GP32 from Lik Sang as it looked cheaper on the web but when it arrived I had to pay a delivery fee and tax and when it started to go wrong my 6 month guarentee was up and it would have cost a fair amount to send it back and get it sent to me again, so I got a friend to try and fix it which he did but after a month it went funny again.

Eventually I decided to buy another one but from GBAX.com which was guarenteed to clock at 166 (which it does). I spoke to them several times through email and they were very friendly and helpful and I am confident that if anything goes wrong they will sort it out, rather than trying to send it half way around the world at high expense hoping it will get sorted out.

Also, see this post for an example of the excellent service they give if problems arise:

hmm... I'm in the US and I had to pay a total of $260 if I were to order my standard FLU from GBAX with airmail shipping, which was wayy to much for my blood. I tried Lik-Sang and they sold it to me for $210 USD and I got Express shipping, bringing my grand total to $223 dollars or something like that. It ended up being a 166mhz one anyway.
 
I just converted GBAX's price for the GP32 and it was a lot higher. Craig posted on the site that 124.99 pounds = $199 but it's actually $232. Go figure.

Edit: I just converted more of his prices and DAMN! CRAIG, change your prices!!! $74 for a 128mb SMC is ridiculous!

Azure, Dude, amazon.com, I just bought 2 128s for 76 bucks!
Why are you telling me this? I'm not looking for a 128mb SMC...

the fact that the dollar is rising doesnt change the fact that all of the other store's prices are region-based. I just noticed that you british people spend a lot more of your money than us americans do on GP32s... if the exchange rates were used to convert the amount Americans pay for FLUs and the amount British people pay it would be $150 dollars (80 pounds) via Play asia for 1 non-FLU to america and $167 dollars (90 pounds) via GBAX for one to great britain, or $210 (112 pounds) via Lik-Sang for one FLU to America and $232 dollars (125 pounds) via GBAX for one to Great britain.

The point is that it's considered acceptable across britain to pay a little more than it is for americans, the fact that the dollar is rising hasnt really changed any of the prices at any of the non-worldbank sites yet. Us americans view the converted prices at GBAX as way to high, wheras the British peoples view it as perfectly acceptable.
