    lol i think we should report laptopbits to watchdog! Add a few lies in, like how we got confirmations and were promised our product etc. and you'll surely get on tv!!!

    Tony, if you ever need some publicity just make something on your website for free!

    By the way, just to be a bit cheeky, have your overall orders gone up this evening from all the extra hits because of this thread? (obviously ignoring the laptop screens)

    :):):)

    damn, i really thought i was going to get that screen for £2.50 :'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(

    What bamboozles me is - how many people actually *need* a tecra laptop screen anyway....?? It's not like a shower radio that is a great gift for someone ... ::)

    Oh well, I hope laptopbits profit from the publicity seeing how good humoured they are being about it ..

  • Just read the bit at the top of the screen that says

    "If someone really helps you, pls nominate them for the Most Useful Post £50 award (see special board)"

    For my money Evilstix has to be a winner!

    Not sure if the overall orders are up as the £2.50 orders are tending to obscure the real ones at the moment! We've had five more since 6pm - about one a minute!

    I suspect a lot of people are not reading far enough down the thread, and are so excited they rush to order before someone changes the web page - and don't notice that someone already has!

    Very funny thread ;D

    Makes me wonder how many Ebayers are hanging around here, like how many people just happen to have a Tecra Laptop with a broken screen ;)

    And they probably think they are getting a laptop for FREE, rather than just a screen spare part
    ;D ;D

    I must admit I was nearly tempted, but was wise enough to read the whole thread. ;D ;D

    1 a minute! well, if its as good as it sounds i think you should do a £0 offer every so often just to get a bit of extra business!

    good luck to you and your business and thanks for the laugh,

    Price: £ 0 - please call for latest details.  Hint:  this means it isn't free!!!
    If you've spent good money an on eBay link to this page then please note this auction has nothing to do with us, sorry, and we suggest you pop some negative feedback to the bloke that auctioned it.

    Meanwhile thanks to lots of people who should have better things to do with their time for all the free publicity!
