  • S'Funny how Gary Hicks owner of C G K pet supplies, who seems to have a close relationship with "scott major", does not seem to have contacted the Police. If I had lost £10K, I would have been straight round the cop shop with his name and address in my hand. STAMFORD & JDPWOWER are correct -
    CGK = BUSTER1980 = Gary Hicks = Scott Major
    Call the cops and get them to put this nasty little crook in jail....
    I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.
  • I note that CGKELECTRICAL still have 5 items listed on EBID, 3 for WII games, one for 10 lots of Sharp LC 37D65E 37" Aquos LCD TV Freeview HD ready 1080 for £499 each and one for 25 lots of space.gifFujitsu esprimo v55 LAPTOPS for £350 each. That's a total of over £14k. What other poor suckers are gonna get fleeced here?
    Call the cops someone for heavens sake...

  • i have a address for scott major if anyones wants it let me know
  • Oh COME ON! Everyone knows that you ARE Scott Major. Your previous posts prove the fact. As well as offsering hooky (non-existent) laptops, you are now offering wrong addresses?

    Does anyone know how this compares with the Bennetts L300-1AQ deal?

    It's £348 at Techdepot.

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-19Q - C 575 / 2 GHz - RAM 1 GB - HDD 120 GB - DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM - GMA 4500MHD Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0 - WLAN : 802.11b/g - Vista Business / XP Pro downgrade - 15.4" Widescreen TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) TruBrite
    Meet the Satellite Pro L300, it's ideal if you're looking for a good, uncomplicated laptop for work and home. It comes with all of Toshiba's renowned quality and feels expensive but it's the Toshiba's most affordable range. Powered by Intel processors, this 15.4 widescreen laptop performs well on the most demanding of business applications. The Satellite Pro L300 is the perfect entry-level choice for the self employed or small to medium businesses.
  • Regarding Bennetts L300-1AQ deal, amazon does the same laptop for £365.75, if Bennetts ran out of them. Click here

    Besides, it has far more superior processor and double the RAM that the L300-19Q has!
    Be nice, life is too short to be anything else.

    Here below are features for Toshiba L300-1AQ
    • : 15.4
    • : Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 2.0GHz 2MB L2, 800MHz FSB
    • : 2GB RAM
    • : 250GB Hard Drive
    • : DVD Super Multi - Dual Layer
    • : Wifi
    L300 1aq has 2gb ram and a 250gb harddrive as opposed to 19q which has the 1gb and 120gb hdd and it has XP pro downgrade on it for those who like xp
    But if you buy from bennetts with 10% off and go through topcashback it comes out similar price depends what you want to do with it but I was told to run vista effectively you need at least 2gb (techies may disagree as why would they be selling 1gb with vista, but surely the more ram the better
    Hope that helps

    forgot to say I ordered from bennetts even though it was out of stock and then phoned them -they said they have stock and I should get it next week
    Thanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.

    I'd like to get one of these laptops from Bennetts but I couldn't see confirmation online that it comes with the XP pro downgrade - did you call to check or does this model come with the downgrade whereever you buy it from?

    Thanks.

    "helping"? A definition of the word which none of us have ever used in this context before. Let's face it, in previous posts you stated that CGKELECTRICAL were great - I quote "i got a reciept they seem like two nice chaps" and you were all-fired up for them. Now that the cops are coming, you seem to have changed your tune a bit Scott, oops I mean Gary, nope, I mean CGK. Whatever, you are probably going down pal.
    Buster is BUSTED
    :T
    teee heeee!
    PS
    I see that EBID have cancelled the NC10 laptop and TV sales by CGKELECTRICAL that I mentioned in an earlier posting. Now just the Wii Play & Remote - Nintendo Wii (Auction ID : 12866384) are left and some poor sucker called MARTINBID has bought one - thats £24.98 gone down the toilet Martin....

    THIS JUST SHOWS HOW USEFUL THIS SITE IS!
