it's too bad we couldn't do a group order of Z6K's from Sharp or a wholesaler at a great price..
I wonder if it can be done by ZUG?

From an casual observer, this case stinks of fraud, and follows all the classic signs of typical eBay/auction fraud. Until their fraud department puts all of the pieces together and the window to respond has elapsed, I infer that they won't do much
I'd have thought that the fraud department would pick up the signs of a possible fraud much earlier than us lay people.

I think you are right. I can live a week or two i suppose.
 

We could, after we recover, look into a bulk purchase of 3000's maybe? The 6k honestly wasn't my firs t choice. It was simply far and away the best deal with vga. My guess is I'll look at 3ks and buy an 860 for a good price   the usb might tempt me otherwise. though...

So I snuck out of my vendor meetings just now and called amazon.  The guy was generally nice, and told me that I would need to wait until December 27th before I could officially request a refund (three days after the latest possible ship date).

The amazon rep however did take a great deal of information, after I gave him the about the seller (thanks to SHaubner).  He said that the information is being sent to another department, and they should be contacting me within 1 - 2 days (via email).  And it's possible that this other department could issue a refund sooner than what's stipulated in the a-z guarantee.

I'll see what they come back with.

Would it be possible to have the people who have ordered a 6k from this jpettins to PM me with the following info:

Name (real not nick)
email address (same one that amazon has - so they can get your account info)
qty ordered

I would like to compile this and send it to some management at amazon, that way we can present some kind of unified front.   I would also be happy to look into a group buy after all this crap gets worked out.  Even if everyone gets refunds by their own efforts, maybe Amazon can give us a group deal or something because of the trouble...

Thanks

Guys, relax.  I did not mean to offend or insult anyone; I apologize if I did.  I just find it amusing that someone would claim their Christmas would be affected by this.  But I stand by my claim: Don't spend the $300 if it's going to hurt that much.  Why you guys are bringing Bill Gates up in a $300 conversation is beyond me, but whatever.  I'm a far, far cry from rich myself, yet I'm responsible enough to know whether or not I can afford $300.

I understand you spend money and expect to get something.  That's cool, and that is a separate issue.  But if you're spending $300 - on anything - and it's maxing out your card or putting that much of a cash strain on you, I recommend that you don't do it.  Of course it's your money and you may do with it as you please.  I'm just putting in my $.02.  I almost jumped on this deal myself, but decided that I couldn't afford to part with $300 at the moment (just spent a ton on DVDs at the Deep Discount DVD sale), but also on my own decision that the 6000L would be no comparison to my C860.

Again, no harm intended.  I invest a lot and tend to offer financial advice when I shouldn't.

Offroadgeek, that a constructive step and I applaud your initiative on this.

Even I called Amazon, and got the same reply - wait for 3 days after the 23rd and then call for refund. Policy matter. But the guy was very understanding and friendly.

If this group buy thing works out, nothing like it.
Boy here I was drooling for the Zaurus 6k (and even smooth talked my wife into supporing me saying its Christmas time and we should make love not war   :-) and kaput goes my dreams... Of course when I told her how deal failed, she showed sympathy, but must have been laughing inside saying "good for him".

...forgive me if at this point I'm not jumping at the chance to buy from a seller with no history.  Sigh.

So you never got Christmas presents. Hard luck bud. I really feel your bitterness and applaude your amusement at someone's Christmas being ruined because they didn't receive something they had set their heart upon.

If amazon would put my 300 towrds it and not ask for the laast hundred until delinery with a 120% refund on delivery failure..... maybe.
I won't be buy any electronics from amazon 3rd party sellers for a long while, I think.
I'd rather buy an 860 from pricejapan than do ths

I don't know how that was meant, but I'm serious now when I say stop the flamewar.  

Just drop the issue,  Ok?  If there's any hard feelings, PM me personally and we'll deal with it as such.

This topic is aiming to fix a wrongdoing and trying to prevent fraud and I dont want a flamewar getting in the way and hampering efforts.

That is the whole point! I agree completely; especially since I am one of the people at the receiving end.
