The value of a laptop is dropping too fast. It's like some company storing icecream in a warehouse at normal room temperature.<BR/><BR/>That's just a very bad idea :-)Peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-85427655391049754782007-09-13T10:09:00.000+02:002007-09-13T10:09:00.000+02:00Too be honest, I thought it might be a bunch of "last year's model" laptops that some company built but could not sell, so they sold them dirt cheap to vlad. That would actually have made sense with the disclaimer of specs may vary.<BR/><BR/>It might be possible to do that with a bunch of surplus laptops. Go to a supplier and say, "Hey I will buy all your extra stock, dirt cheap to get it off your hands, no OS, no driver support, etc. needed.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure there are quire a few manufacturers out there who'd be happy to do that.

Not delivering the computers of course, they never existed, but the scam.<BR/><BR/>Some 7000 orders have come in, right? 150 dollars each. That's one million fifty thousand dollars. Let's say they bribe 2CO, take most of the money themselves, and disappear to Brazil or something. 2CO can blame Medison and try to cover damages through their insurance company. If they get like 10% of the million they could still make a profit off the deal.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm not too worried since it's Valdi we're talking about, but I hope you see my point. There's too much money in this to just laugh it away, and I don't know if I'm to trust 2CO or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-78480583438907520782007-09-12T21:41:00.000+02:002007-09-12T21:41:00.000+02:00"well i have my laptop, why hasn't anyone else gotten theres"<BR/><BR/>Because you bought yours from DELL, and we bought ours from Medison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-86494718433593687362007-09-12T21:35:00.000+02:002007-09-12T21:35:00.000+02:00well i have my laptop, why hasn't anyone else gotten theresAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-11214521868352424282007-09-12T21:18:00.000+02:002007-09-12T21:18:00.000+02:00"but I wonder what makes you so FCC obsessed.

I think he did understood that he failed at some point, but instead of dissapearing he still giving the promises. And 2CO supports him in his kind of sadomasochism. Any thinking person that can analyze simple things found truth at the very beginning: Medison is Valdi and Valdi is nothing more than a clown. Tommy Truthseeker provides right information to stupid people fooled or getting to be fooled by Valdi and whats more by 2CO. I think nowadays there's is a very very few or none at all people making new orders. Verdict: Valdi is seriously ill, and 2CO is company playing dirty since they can't answer direct simple questions from their customers, who actually give them profit. The simpliest one is: where is the "Medison Celebrity laptop produced (according to medison.se) by Medison Europe Limited after 2 weeks of promised delivery date (which was already moved once)?"Vladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15731508894529952163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-28571751753808919892007-09-12T18:22:00.000+02:002007-09-12T18:22:00.000+02:00Very ironic that the anonymous "tommy truthseeker" supporters never get villified for THEIR anonymous nicks... very ironic indeed.non anon mousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-61051583857671307892007-09-12T17:50:00.000+02:002007-09-12T17:50:00.000+02:00"If the idea is so bad, then why did they order in the first place?"<BR/><BR/>In my long experience being reseller, I'll tell you this:<BR/><BR/>You have no idea how stupid most people are.

I have followed this blog and the 2CO forums for weeks and posted a few comments. From the beginning it was clear to me that the Medison Celebrity Laptop does not exist and that Valdi is a mentally disturbed person, a pathological fantast and swindler.<BR/><BR/>At first, following the developments was quite entertaining. I could not believe how many people, and even a company like 2CO, were fooled by Valdi's statements. And the longer this charade lasted the more absurd and it became.<BR/><BR/>But gradually I do not find this continuing affair so funny anymore. It is lasting for weeks now, some (new?) commenters have probably no idea what is going on and the comments are getting harsh, full of unjustified speculations and accusations, and I see a flame war coming. I am glad that Tommy himself sticks to facts so far.<BR/><BR/>I think that especially 2CO is to blame for this extended killing of Valdi's dreams. I do not know why they still act as if the laptop actually exists. I cannot imagine that they still believe it exists. Maybe they fear legal consequences if they pull the plug first. But the longer this lasts, the nastier it gets. The victims will not be those who will not receive their ordered laptops and who will no doubt be refunded if they payed, the victims will be Valdi and his family. One could argue that it will be his own fault, but can you blame someone for being sick?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-54879738138878379472007-09-12T15:43:00.000+02:002007-09-12T15:43:00.000+02:00I am just thankful to be sitting here on Sept. 12th, 2007 and see that Valdi has not disappeared.
