$376, if this goes past $450, I can find a better deal elsewhere.

Was wondering, while bidding on merchandise, it may not be a good idea to reveal what your maximum offer would be. A fake bid could be now be made for, say $449, then you could counter with $450. But you might have got it for $376. Just a suggestion

Just a quick note to reassure the assembled gentry that my bid was not fake

But I won't go any higher. Can't afford it. Much as I would like the device.

interesting

@meego_leenooks1: Where are the phones locates? I live in Poland[EU] and wonder about import taxes to Poland, but would be really interested in RM690 and maybe other n950s if price will be low for them)?
Could you post screen models for n950 (or some other references), so I will ask some guy from Schenzen if it would be possible to buy replacement screens for n950s?

Wishing you luck with this as elicited no results a while back:

badpixel,
phones are located in Thailand, and I will ship by DHL.
As far as I know DHL calculates and pays the import tax itself, then forcing the recipient to return that money to DHL. But it calculates the import tax based on the declared price, so I could write lower price than the one it was sold for.

but what's the shipping price?

In polish law import tax, vat, and toll are calculated with shipping price included. And everything costier than $150(including shipping) can be taxed even 38% extra(it's no joke)

The shipping cost will be from 50 up to 100 USD.
If you are REALLY interested in those devices I could hold them for you and give them to you personally (I plan to go to Europe in May). But you will have to prove your interest, e.g. pay 2 months in advance.

That's super cool. Even if you don't visit Poland shipping and import fees within EU will be few times lower.

So I bid $500 for RM690 and $10 for every other n950.
