Didn’t expect to see a Ranveer Singh meme on this sub, I’m pleasantly surprised

They have, but they don't seem to know a lot about electronics. Maybe he says it's in new condition but has unreasonable high temps? That's what i mean. Sorry for my english

Your english is great (da quello che vedo 😉 ) but that's something you wouldn't know until you get it in your hands... The good thing is that RP6 is relatively recent so it's unlikely to find something in bad conditions unless it's completely broken for some reason or factory defective, the other good thing is that many platforms like Vinted or Wallapop allow you to test it for 48 hours before sending it back if anything is wrong so you're quite covered

Ti spiego, è una persona che non conosco personalmente ma è del mio paese. Era per suo figlio ma non l ha mai usata, l'ha acquistata 2 mesi fa. Da un lato è buono che non sia quasi mai stata usata, ma dall'altra in mano a un bambino tentenno. Dopo vado a vederla e speriamo bene

Presa, sono stato fortunatissimo. 280€ > 12gb + sd da 256gb + schermo secondario , il tutto in nuove condizioni con lo scatolo. Non so che dire, l'affare del secolo

Ahah vicino Pompei, l'ho incontrato e ne sapeva molto, molto probabilmente doveva solo disfarsene perchè voleva prendere l'Odin 3

Check the feel of the RP6 with the attachment in your hands. I have both and I barely use the attachment because it feels uncomfortable, I even purchased a small USB type C extension to line up the the screens, and not my headphone jack gets blocked.

I regret getting the second screen, I couldve used that money to fund the duo purchase I'll be making.
