Sl-6000l On Amazon For $300 Right Now!

[vputz]

Heck, I still don't believe I got one for $300... even though I've been charged.  I won't believe it until I've got PalmZilla the mighty 6000 in my eager li'l hands...

I ordered one of the $300 units as well.  I don't want to worry anybody, but the seller who was selling it no longer has a single thing listed for sale on Amazon. (S)He used to have 100+ dvds listed.   Hmmmm...

*sigh*   I want to believe my Christmas wish is gonna come true and my Zaurus willl arrive. But I get the sinking feeling I'll be screaming @ Amazon early next month instead

Agreed.  It's early to panic yet but it doesn't look good.  Has anyone here ever had to take advantage of Amazon's "A-to-z Guarantee"?

Sent e-mails to the seller.No reply till now.
Am worried.

Edit: Just looked at sellers ratings over last few days: in the 1s and 2s. Another buyer complained that seller did not return e-mails. Are we smelling a possible scam?  My Dec 1 order hasn't shipped yet. Am very very worried.  The deal was really too good to be true!

Oh geez...I think I'm gonna be sick.  I just read the most recent posts on the other thread that popped up about this, and yes, it's starting to smell like a scam to me too.
I'm really sorry, I feel terrible- I was the one that brought this to everyone's attention.  Until now I'd never heard of a single scam by an Amazon vendor, I just assumed since it was listed on their site it would be bulletproof.  

I'll be  praying that this mess will clear up and he'll deliver on the sale, the ZUG members in general, (many whom I now count as personal friends), deserve much better than this!

I'm deeply sorry for anyone who may be harmed as a result of this thread.  I promise next time I post on something like this I will temper it with appropriate warnings if it is from an unproven source.

Be well,

I too ordered the $300 "deal" before the negative feedback started showing up.

As long as Amazon comes through with the A-Z guarantee, if I don't get it, I'm disappointed but okay. I was especially looking forward to seeing the benefits of USB-host and the improved screen over the 860.

From what I read, we will have to wait 30 days before we can file a claim.  There is also the added option of having the credit card company intervene, but I don't know what they can do.

Hey, has anyone had any luck getting through to the Amazon site? I can't view my orders; been that way all day.

[f1oyd1an]

Nope.. I couldnt get thru.. It was fine all morning.

I didn't have fiveinarow's success either.

"Please accept my sincere apologies for any misunderstanding regarding the price listed on our website.  I have checked with our website and found that this item is not listed with any discount.

Also, please note that some prices listed on an item's product detail page are offered by Amazon Merchants, or by individual sellers through Amazon Marketplace.  Because Amazon.com does not have a price matching policy, we cannot match the price offered by another seller on our web site."

... and that e-mail came after a phone call to Amazon's 1-800 number too.  Just to make sure.

I was on such a premature high that I bought a 1GB Lexar SD card and a 128MB Viking CF card at eCOST for a cool $57 (after rebates, of course). I thought the savings justified it. Oh, well.

Sorry to hear about the bad news on the $300 Z6000Ls.   I sincerely hope the issue gets resolved soon.

Hello all-- I also placed an order for the $300 unit on Amazon last Thursday hoping to get back into the Zaurus after previous ownership of a 5500 and C700.  The seller's name was Jack Pettins and his email is "jpettins@yahoo.com"

I emailed him before I went through with it and he let me know that they were brand new (his response came within 5 minutes).  I also emailed back after my purchase to see when it might ship and his response was "it went out priority about an hour ago."

Given he said this early Thursday afternoon, a Priority Mail shipment should have arrived by today.  He also has not responded to my email from this morning.  Given that others feel something is up, I may call my credit card tonight as I don't feel like waiting for 30 days for Amazon to sort this out.  If anyone find out something, please post it here...

Same happened to me too. He said it was brand new and after I bought it, he replied saying that it will be shipped on the same day (Thursday) through priority mail. I'll be out of work at around 6pm and I'll let you guys know if I got the Z in mail today..

Anyone ever dispue an Amazon 3rd party seller charge before with the Credit card company.  If so, how did it work out?  Is it better than the A-Z Amazon protection thing?

[SHaubner]

I've disputed a PayPal credit card charge for $900 for a laptop I bought on eBay from a guy who scammed over 20 buyers.  They reversed the charge and since law enforcement was involved, it was eventually settled in my favor.  That's one reason I will *always* use my credit card with PayPal.

With Amazon, I expected that sellers were better vetted than this, if this truly turns out to be a scam.  However, Amazon does have the final responsibility given their policies.  You can dispute *any* charge with your credit card.  This will temporarily take the charge off of your account so you don't incur finance charges.  It will also launch an investigation.  Typically, most credit card companies require you to wait until it has posted to a statement before allowing a dispute.
