If it was stolen off the back of a truck, the IMEI would have been registered straight away as stolen from where it was stolen ie: warehouse, as there would have been a missing fone from the order wherever it would have gone to.

As the box is sealed the IMEI could not possibly have been changed. Cut the guy some slack, don't post this shit.

SRP is $999 so keep that in mind.

Hey DTM,,,,I'm thinking you should cut yourself some slack,,,I DON'T POST SHIT,,,,OKAY. I don't give a crap about IMEI's,,,they mean nothing when some unsuspecting buyer doesn't know all YOU know. Next time post with a few more manners.

Biddings going well Mr Cluk and both DTM and I just gave you

free Bumps.

WTF? No i agree with Pete, cut him some slack. You could've simply PM'd him if you were suspicious, instead of both you and nick pouncing on him waiting to go in for the kill.

FYI: IMEI numbers are the serial codes which are unique to every phone. It's on the box (which Mr. Cluk showed in the pictures he posted also) And it's stored in the phone. It cannot be changed without the right illegal software and people who know alot about what they're doing. IMEI numbers are stored on the Nokia database, and as soon as a phone is reported stolen, that IMEI number is stored on the Nokia site where people have public access to check whether the phone they are buying is stolen or not. Of course, to alter the IMEI number on a stolen phone, the box would have to be opened. As you can see the box is unopened - therefore it is clear the phone is legit.

There is no need to go and be rude to somebody and question them like that.

Also i'd like to mention -- Don't be stooges guys. Nothing pisses me off more personally when i'm selling something and somebody offers me next to nothing for it. It's a waste of everybodys time, and you can't in your right mind expect them to sell the thing for such a small amount.

As Ultim8DTM5 mentioned, the RRP on these phones is around $999. So keep that in mind when bidding also.

Mr. Cluk. Sorry for interupting your thread; i felt this needed to be addressed. Good luck with your sale.

Regards,

Ryan

Cavaet Emptor: buyer beware.

If someone is about to drop several hundred dollars and has the means to check if the phone is stolen FOR FREE AND EASILY ON THE WEB, they would do that and not just speculate "Oh yeah, this phone must be stolen..."

Interested parties should only voice those concerns via PM, where they can get the IMEI from the owner, check it out, and see in 5mins whether it is legitimate or not. It is almost common knowledge, don't assume people do not know about serial numbers on mobile phones and you are doing your public duty by putting doubt into prospective buyer's minds. Get off your horse, cavalier sir, leave the sale between the seller and the buyer.

sorry, but the boxes these phones come in can be opened EASILY.

they are not sealed UNLESS at a RETAIL level.

i.e. when shipped from nokia korea where they're made to when the customer buys them, they are easily openable and accessable.

Just so everyone knows.

Although with all of the 55 dollar plans with optus last month happening, there will be a FLOOD of 7250's out there, listed as new in box. I dont see any particular reason why this one should be anydifferent.

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
