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

[SHaubner]

This is what I told folks to do on Monday, particularily if you used a debit card and have actually funds withdrawn from your account.  You may give up your A-Z rights, but so what if you get your money back today.   What is Amazon going to tell your bank--that the product could still arrive?  They already know the score and are just following their bureaucratic procedures at this point and earning interest on your money (while you pay it!).  If your bank wants more proof, print out a copy of this entire thread for their investigation    

I would also advise other folks to look at some of the eBay auctions if you are serious about a Z6K since you could probably get one with shipping for about $420--that's only $40 above the magic $379.

Isn't anyone interested in a group buy??

I am. But I have NO money. Like 5 bucks in my wallet and the rest in the bank needs to stay there for college tuition payment.

The chances that Amazon would do this would be remote even if they *had* the item in stock which they don't.

If there are enough buyers they may be pursuaded to get some more? Worth a try at least.

I am persuaded. I called my bank. it will be 10 business days before they finish processing this (debit card). That seems better to me than to begin processing with amazon on the 29th of december. screw it. I can get a 6kfor a decent price someplace, or at worst an 860 from pricejapan (not a bad worst, is it?) I want my money back and i want quit of this whole thing. I ended up here because I wanted x window stuff on a vga screen, on a box with 64 megs o ram .  The fastest way to acheive that (within financial reason) is the best.
I'll let you k now how it comes out.
others who get chargebacks and refunds please post (maybe with the name of the card or bank?) so we have evidence for companies that are skeptical?
 That means a refund the 23rd for me I hope.

last letter to amazon:

I have contacted my bank to retreive my funds. since you are aware that you brokered a fraudulent sale, and already intend to apply the a-z guarantee and refund my money, and since the a-z refund process cannot be started until the 29th, this seemed best for me.  I understand that your regulations do not allow faster processing, despite your recognition that this is a scam rather than a sale. Nonetheless, I do not see that you have a right to $305.99 of my money for a second past the time your vendor disappeared.  In recognition of the fact that it is MY money, I have initiated steps to collect it.  This is not a condemnation of Amazon.com or its a-z policies.  Please do your best to expedite this process.

Well,
I can't say I blame you all. To be honest, unless Amazon offered me some reason to wait until THEY sorted it out to get my money back such as a gift certificate etc. I would have bailed through my CC company on day one.

I will say this...  It will be no terrible thing if you let this experience poison you against Amazon. However do yourselves and your pocketbooks a favor and don't let that disfavor carry over the the SL-6000L.  It was just as much a victim of circumstances as you all were.

I see some of you in the wake of this disaster are thinking of maybe buying a C860.  I've owned/used both the C860 and the 6000L and due to the MANY advantages it offers I ditched the C860 and purchased (3) SL-6000L's (I use two and one is new/never been out of the box to be sold eventually).  For the details on why this is so, just click on my member name and read my back posts.

The MAIN reason I'm saying this to you all that were hurt in the scam is that the 6k represents the BEST financial option to what you were hoping for at the price you were hoping to get it.  Do the EBAY thing, purchase from trusted vendors, or put ads up in the ForSale/Wanted forum here on ZUG- My bet is there are also a LOT of ZUG members that for some reason or another heard about the huge Amazon sales before the masses because of this and bought extras like me. Even at the current going Ebay prices it is at least $125 cheaper than the high end clamshells.

Now having said all this if the situation were reversed and the C860 were cheaper you may wish to go that route.... but because of the advantages I personally would STILL purchase the 6000L!  YMMV but after you've made your decision and the money is gone.... you might find yourself wishing you had taken the other pill.

So screw Amazon!  Just don't screw yourselves in the process.

Good Luck and God Bless guys!

LMAO could amazon be any less secure?
What total crap.
This does deserve amazon bashing... the same scam over and over.
that means chances are really high that if you do business of this sort with an amazon 3rd party you are outta luck. That is horrible. Who wants to do business in that environment?
