Considering the Flipstarts specs and the recent releases of new UMPC's (Everun Note) that are twice as powerful yet still cost less completely new with a years warranty, I think your Buy it Now price may be too high.
 

Even with all of the accessories I may add.
 

What do you think I should list it at? Also keep in mind that the auction is "Buy It Now" or "Best Offer". What do you or people in this forum believe is the right price? I'm interested in finding out because, I do want set a fair price and be successfull in selling the FlipStart. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
 

Bought mine with three extra standard cap batteries, camera, three chargers and two docking stations for $700 just over three months ago.
 

Well not a lot of people responsded but, I lowered the price anyway. The price is now 999.00 or Best Offer. Let's see how it does...
 

I have seen a Flipstart on Ebay that includes

- 2 High Capacity batteries

- 2 A/C Adapters

- OEM case

- XP professional CD

All for Buy it Now US $599.00 and free shipping. So as I said, your price point is too high.
 

In fact, the new Everun Note Dual Core AMD Turion 64, 1.2 Ghz, 1GB RAM, clamshell design like the Flipstart with good keyboard and everything that the Flipstart does and more costs less new on Ebay, than your Flipstart does.

That is the problem with technology, as soon as we purchase, the value goes down and then something comes out that surpasses it.
 

Not true. The Everun is too large when compared to the flipstart. The everun is not a pockable computer. Your comparing apples and oranges.

The only palmtop that compares to the flipstart is the General Dynamics' GoBook MR-1 link

The MR-1 is dualcore but is quite pricey.

I'm not sure about you, but I don't have any pockets that I can fit my FlipStart in. 'Course the only Batteries I have are the extended ones.
 

The FlipStart fits into cargo pants pockets and most jacket pockets, but little else. It is also heavy to carry in a pocket. That said, it is still a lot more portable than a 7 incher!
 

I just bought a Celio REDFLY Smartphone companion. It's 6" by 9" by 1" with an 8" screen and weighs in at 2 pounds. I like this form factor better than the FS. Besides that when I push the button, it's on in 3 seconds, and the battery lasts ALL DAY!

Doesn't run Windows XP or Vista though. Windows Mobile is adequate for most things I do as long as the screen and keyboard are big enough, and if I need more I can always wait a minute and a half for the FS to boot up.
 

It only takes 5-10 seconds for XP to be ready on my flipstart. I hibernate it. I get 5 hours of battery life which translates to around 2 days of use but I charge it every night. It works pretty well even the pda screen works and because of the small size I'm more likely to have it when I need it. runs games great.

The GO Book MR-1 is not dual core, it is running a single 1.2GHz U1400 Ultra Low Voltage Core Solo.
