    Hello guys.

    I want to buy Cleve p370em.

    Well i have come in contact with 3 German resellers with general questions and payment options plus shipping.

    MySn.de accepts pay pal.

    Hawkforce.de request bank wire.

    One.de request bank wire.


    From the three, Hawkforce give me the best deal plus it has exactly what i want, i know he has good reputationplus he is very kind and he answered all of my question via our emails.

    the only thing i am afraid off is the bank wire.

    Its like you gift your money,and i dont really know if i should go for , or choose resellers with paypal and trusted shops guarantee.

    Thanks a lot!

    Hey Mr Dj,
    Yes in Greece, Plaisio Computers they sell some of the clevo models.
    With that in mind , they sell old models and they dont have the latest models.
    Imagine they sell clevo860cu with gtx260/280m as top noch gaming laptop....

    i come in contact with Plaisio and they refused me to bring me clevo p370em as an exclusive order.

    So German resellers is the only option i have.
    I can order also from uk but the exchange rate is something that drives me out of budget for the same build paid in euro.

    i changed my first post in order to be more specific.

    Thanks in advance.

    Umm, how wire transfer is "Its like you gift your money"? They still giving you the invoice and you state on your bank payment to company account that you paying for this invoice - its is not like you transferring untraceable cash to some random person.
    The only thing wire transfer does not protect you, is against them going bust before you receive your laptop - to be protected against that you have to pay by credit card (not debit card) or paypal (but because of that you'll have to pay a bit extra most commonly - because sellers will try to re-coup the fees).

    Speaking from experience, the last thing I would do is pay via Bank Wire Transfer, especially in these uncertain times. I lost big money when the reseller I was making a purchase from (Kobalt Computers) when bust shortly after I sent the wire transfer payment. I don't have experience with credit cards as I use a debit card but if you have a debit card too I would really recommend using PayPal to have that peace of mind. Even though it will cost a bit more in the end.
