Deal Or No Deal

[Buffalo]

I bought a new data player as my previous one did not play all DVD data disks I put in it, some would, some not, it came to the stage I was getting a bit pissed off with it as you would be watching a movie and it would just stop.
Model Wharfedale DVD 3210dvx ebuyer @ £19.99

My new player came today,
Biostek XS-250A Pro £19 from http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/424177/art/biostek/xs-250-pro-dvd-mpeg4-play.html

The only problem was it arrived damaged, as seen in this picture

I tested it and it runs fine, so I decided to mail pixmania telling them of this item being delivered damaged, but working 100%,

The Deal: "Can you let me have a second unit at a cut price to save me sending this unit back" as I wanted one for the bedroom :naughty:

No Deal: pixmania said,
Unfortunately, we can not do deals like this. If your parcel has been damaged we recomend you to send it back to Pixmania.

I don't think i'm prepared to send it back as I've been waiting to watch my films for so long, it's a shame, but the process will take too long, this item should have been on a 3 day service but took a week to arrive to my address.

So far all my disks are working 100%
It's a good data player, but it's a shame that Parcel Force can't take care with goods sent via them.

It's now a decision to make, what shall I do,
Send it back, and just hang on for a replacement :unsure:

send it back m8

[Gripper]

Isit worth the hassle for £ 20,if it fucks up you've got the warranty.

[Alien5]

keep it.

[100%]

It has more character this way.

I agree.
The hassle, and yes....... it has added character.
I will have to pay for its return, and that will cost around £5,
It will then take 3 days to get to its destination,
Time for them to process a replacement,
The return post that took 7 days before.

Even by that time they would have probably sold out,
Things like this sold @ £19 is not going to last long.

I've had it running for most of the day, with no problems at all,
I'm just glad I've found a replacement to that Wharfedale I had,
Will sell that unit on eBay, but will be honest and say it has a problem with DVD data disks so I don't have any come back.
It will play CDR media data no probs,
But I like to backup my films on DVD so I can get 5 on a disk.
Nice unit, recommended.

I would send it back.

If you bought it in a shop you would expect it to be on sale, or a heavily reduced price tag with damage like that.

But if it works, your happy, and can't be arsed... enjoy.
