Sold my Nexus 7...a good idea?

gino_76ph

I have sold it on Gumtree and not like Ebay or Amazon so i have no "obligation" to give the item unless i (obviously) agree to the sale and the buyer parts with his cash. But i have suddenly changed my mind. Why? Because i needed more time to decide. I needed to weigh in the arguments, pros & cons, etc.

A £200 quad-core 7" 32GB tab compared to a£269 7.9" 16GB tab.

I think branding me an "idiot" is harsh. i don't accept that. It's a very negative word. I have my own opinions and experience on such devices and i am basing my decisions on those. I am merely thinking if i should sell my N7 or not?

The fact that you have agreed to a sale and are now reneging on that deal unfortunately makes you fit right in with said previous assumptions on you.

£200 and 32GB eh - so it's only a few weeks old then?

If you've put it on Gumtree and the buyer has offered the asking price and you've accepted, then of course a contract exists. The buyer is going to be somewhat p**d off if you now refuse to supply it, and rightly so. Whether he could be bothered to sue you for breach of contract is of course another matter. But if he did, he'd certainly win.

No but you have done.

Why do you need to keep wasting money on glorified toys anyway?

Steven Fry does it when he is feeling low.

I suspect that £200 to Stephen Fry is worth proportionally less than £2 to most here though.

thinking of adding a 5Mp back camera to it once the warranty runs out in a few months ^_^
it's an easy upgrade as far as I've seen. ^_^

Can I ask where you have seen this?

I'd like to do that too.

Indeed, I was trying to be subtle regarding the OP.

And he can no doubt legitimately charge it as a business overhead...grr...
