Sold.

Price Drop. 1150CAD shipped -> 1050CAD shipped -> 975CAD shipped

Hello.

Up for sale is a Dell Latitude D520 laptop; it's a business type laptop which means it's built to last. The laptop is in brand new condition, I opened the box to inspect the content and take pictures but the laptop was not booted, not even removed from it's protective bag. Intact 1 year Next Day Onside warranty from Dell is included.

I bought the laptop 3 weeks ago from Dell.ca (edit: during a Dell.ca price error) for my wife's soon to start masters degree. 2 days after buying it, while it was still in transit, I won :) an ultra-portable Asus laptop that fits here better. So the Dell has to go.
Same Dell configured on Dell.ca comes to 1450$. The shipping alone is 125$ (Dell policy for business laptops/computers and the reason why next time I'll look at Lenovo). My price is 975CAD and includes shipping (I do ship fast and I do pack to ensure save transit up to Madagascar!).
Payment can be through EMT (I love it), PayPal, personal checks (will take 2+3 extra days until it the checks clears out) or any of your prefered methods.

Included is everything that came in the box: the laptop, 6-cell Li-Ion battery, software CD's, Dell software, A/C adapter, User's Manual. A great thing about the included software is the fact that the you get the full media CD for Windows XP Professional w/SP2.

About the laptop configuration:

My highlights are:

* 7200rpm S-ATA hard-drive - the fastest hard-drive possible in a laptop. Along with the Dual Core CPU will ensure the best multitasking environment possible.

Yes, the laptop was bought during the Dell glitch but the final price was much bigger than you are suggesting.
Specs are fixed and cannot change them but the price is OBO. So if anybody needs these specs, please make an offer and I will answer it.




did u buy it from the Dell.ca pricing error a few weeks ago where this particular laptop was $549 + shipping?

also, your specs are too low for that high price.

Hey pal, are you willing to trade for this? I got an 24" LCD monitor (Acer AL2416W) and a little money to put towards a notebook. Are you anywhere in the vicinity of Montreal, Qc?

Cheers,

I suppose it's for your information so I do not see why you have to ask this in the main thread. Forum rules suggest to use PM for such questions.
You have a PM since 8 am.

You have a PM since 8 am.

I'm sure many people would want to know that information, and that is why I asked for a reply in the forum. If you do not wish to reveal publicly this information, that is your prerogative.

And geez, quit pointing out the RULES to defend your actions.

Wow... an user that is actually not against me:) Thank you.

hover42 - Your PM is answered. But I have really no ideea on what you meant here "quit pointing out the RULES to defend your actions." WHAT are my actions that I have to defend?!

And to anybody interested in the laptop, I don't really have a problem to "reveal" (... great word) what I paid for it. Just PM me for this! If I wanted to publish what I paid for it I would have done it in the main description. I don't see why the price I paid for it should influence your interest in the laptop; if you consider buying it, please PM all your questions and I will answer them. I have nothing to hide.
Godspeed
