Unfortunately your order has not been found.

Too true! It's the greedy ones who always spoil it for the rest.

Total rubbish

It looks to be a discontinued model, the part number is out of stock everywhere and not listed on Iomega's site, so Dell could be clearing remaining inventory on consignment. In that event the price may well be correct but supply limited.

Wots the netiquette on this site then in terms of adding reps, I see some have ratings. Wonder what people here do to acheive it or give it

Dell seem to do this on a regular basis. I posted THIS THREAD last April and Dell honoured all orders until they ran out. I'm quite sure all those lucky enough to get their orders in will get the HDD's

People will give rep or thanks if they think your post has been useful. It will also go on by what else you post. If you tend to start good threads and post good posts, people will notice and start to add to your rep, thanks or rating. However, you tend not to get it by asking for it?

Looks like they ran out of stock.

 

[DiamondGeezer]

damn! Anyone know of any other good deals on external hard drives? Anything over the size of 20 gig or over but looking for cheap, no more than £35, sorry i appreciate this should probably be in the request section.

just come across this one here.............60GB £35 Free Delivery

Total rubbish, whether they sold out because of a million transactions or because of one, they sold out in a shorter time than usual. That gets noticed.

maybe,but its people that order more of one item still arouses suspission
10 is just greed
I agree with nara 100%

I take it this is now directed at me, because I stated I have ordered 10 units.

Out of those 10, possible 1 or 2 are for me. The rest have been reserved for others, but we clubbed together to make use of the free delivery over £100.

Its not greed, its called common sense. Alas common sense isn't all that common.

The reason this forum works so well is because the members all share info and advice amongst ourselves for our mutual benefit. The original poster could quite conceavably ordered 10 for himself then sold them on ebay or here for a profit. He didn't, therefore we all had the chance to benefit. As a member of this site we all have a responsibilty, especially when someone has been kind enough to help us out, not to shaft fellow members by preventing them from, in this instance, getting one of these bargains.

You may wish to justify your actions by saying your buying for others to save on delivery (arent they cheap enough?!!!), to me its pure and simple greed and i sincerely hope you dont get any.
