Someone wants to shift stock a bit sharpish. Wonder if he'll hang around to post them.

so the previous post should be un-expired not just start a new post

More chance more people will see a new thread rather than an older one being unexpired imo

who really cares as long as the deal get seen by people

the OP who went to the bother of finding and posting a deal, doesn't want to just have his effort ripped off. And the users of the site who have seen and ignored the original deal as it's not relevant to them don't want to be spammed every 5 minutes with the same deals. It's how the site functions properly.

Search bar? It's not hard...if your going to buy something search hukd first. No need to spam.

I'm referring to it being high up in the 'new' section and then the 'hot' section
As I would presume those are the most viewed pages

For goodness sake.
It's a great price. I do have this phone though and apart from the fingerprint sensor and exposed charging port...I think it's a step down from the z3 compact.
I have had times when the phone froze and it was totally unresponsive...eventually was able to reboot. The camera also heats the phone up too quickly, and it feels bulky and not as good quality as the z3c. In short, I wish I'd not upgraded and has made me think twice about Sony for my next purchase.

Good to know just bought a z3 compact yesterday to replace my smashed z2, it was only £130 from amazon

I'm surprised you've had so many problems, I too upgraded from the Z3C and whilst its not a massive improvement its definitely a better handset. Mine just got the lastest android update, maybe that will help resolve some of your issues.

This wouldn't save you money though...It would make you buy something you don't need "impulse purchasing" but if you 'search' you find the one obvious deal as apposed to four or five for the same post, some of which I can guarantee will have missing links, incorrect information and also, may be expired.

2gb of ram I feel makes this phone really sluggish other than that it would be amazing

If you're inferring you only ever use this website for its search feature and have never used it to just see what deals have been posted lately then you are correct
However I do not believe this to be how most people use the site
You've never bought something you saw posted here that you weren't planning on buying?
This site can be used to save money but it isn't a money saving website it's a hot deals website
And yes - it can cause impulse purchasing
You just have to be sensible with your money
Be careful not to catch 'HUKD Syndrome' :laughing:

Yes. Most people will tell you this website has resulted in them spending more money. A Hot Deal DOES NOT equal saving money!:stuck_out_tongue:
(unless of course you were just about to buy the exact same thing for more)
*Obviously it all depends on how you use the site. Peace

DO NOT BUY!
I have just received the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact and I have bought a lot of electronic items in the past and you can always tell when new means exactly that and I have to say that this handset is not new as described by this seller. There is no seal on the box and there are bubbles within the packaging encasing the handset. I have contacted PayPal/eBay to return this not as described handset.

Mine is due tomorrow. Will update here with verdict on whether it's new or not.

how on earth did you get a Z3 for £130?

The phone arrived and wasn't sealed, like bitbinary01's phone. However, the screen protector seal thing seemed to be the original. The buyer has also agreed to forward me original purchase documents for warranty purposes but wanted to send them via post.
Seems reasonable so far, but it is possible that I never receive the docs and this is just a delay tactic. Skeptical for the moment but the phone does seem brand new.

I purchased from Amazon and the box did not have seal tape either, maybe cost cutting as no earphones also.

I'm on the latest update, not had the re boot issue since luckily. I still prefer the z3c as it just feels better in my opinion and I honestly don't notice much difference in performance. It's still a super handset though! Thanks for your advice

it was used but listed as good condition with a seller with decent reviews, looks like they have increased in price to around £160-£180 : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00N8N4IPE/ref=olp_twister_child?ie=UTF8&mv_color_name=2&mv_size_name=0
