yeah right. i've seen BLU's advertised on ebay for ages now. every one I've seen so far is really an FLU.

 

[finty]

sounds a little shady to me.

"comes in a FLU box"- right.

 

[yaustar]

Goddamn reserve... if you want a reserve then set the bid at that price :angry:

 

[timeslip]

Tis kinda suss, but even so its still a damn good price for a FLU

 

[Gruntfuggly]

It does say its a BLU in a FLU box - but... no picture, so you'd be daft to go for it....

Besides, theres 2 days left to go - it aint gonna stay at 67 quid...

 

[timeslip]

what the reserve set at ?

 

[DJWillis]

what the reserve set at ?

Uhhh, who knows, that is why it is a hidden reserve .

Sorry guys but we all know this is an FLU GP32 and the reserve is going to be £100+ I am sure. His argument no doubt would be that it is lit from 'behind' the front screen plate making it a back lit unit :lol: .

 

[Steve-O]

It is a FLU... Most people used to call them Back lit on Ebay ages ago....

 

[DaveC]

Obviously a scam since the real BLU hasn't even been released yet.

 

[declaration]

but it says that it is in a BLU, even though its is in a FLU box. This statement makes it sound like it is definitely not a FLU.

I hope people dont get ripped off by this.

Oh that is such a bad scam, I wish the person who was 'selling' that would stop! By the way, I agree with the person who said something about 'what is the point of reserve price..'. Why don't they forget reserve price and set the start bid at reserve price that they would use for the start bidding but not set reserve price, all join me in the RPPOEIAC! [Reserve Price Protest Of eBay In Every Country!]

 

[timeslip]

the reason for using a reserve is so the seller can originally post it at a cheap as chips price and payless to ebay for the sale, but still have protection that its not gonna go for a couple of quid

But it is a pain in the ass!

 

[Sadako]

Oh, I understand what you mean,..but pretending to be a BLU is so not funny, and probably illegal..

 

[Mikey]

'what is the point of reserve price..'. Why don't they forget reserve price and set the start bid at reserve price that they would use for the start bidding but not set reserve price,

The point is to get as much money as possible for whatever your selling. Setting a hidden reserve people can't see the lowest price you'll sell your item and may be more inclined to bid than if it were simply set at a high starting price. Which would hopefully lead to a bidding war and push the price of your item up. Setting at a high inital price would serve to put some people off.

Who knows maybe he magically got the one BLU made accidently using the blood of a virgin and the testicles of a zodiac owner and it was accidently boxed in a FLU box

or maybe not

 

[barnesy]

Just looks like the seller doesn't really know what they're talking about. I think anyone thinking that would be a BLU would have to read this site to even get that idea anyway!

you have to pay ebay?

 

[Pulstar]

Why doesn't someone email the seller and ask how they got a BLU? I think I will.
EDIT: OK, I just emailed him and asked for pics of it running, I'll get back to you all when he emails me.
