enjoy....... :thumbs:

[budgie55]

looking forward to it :)

/me keeps eye out for new cheap keyboards as my F5 key is becoming rather knackered ;)

[clayts]

4 X OEM DVD-RW writers (working return) added £24.99 :)

[Oo Overclocka oO]

Are items reserved when they're in the basket or only once you've placed the order?

Want to wait around for more items before I just order this DVD-R drive

[rsykes2000]

Once you place the order, I held one in my basket yesterday as a test and they still sold out.

(ordered one today though - will test it and give it to my dad for his PC).

[BigPockets]

we are doing some work on that at the moment in the next day or so it should do a double check when you hit the checkout......

got lots of goodies for today ;)

[budgie55]

I'm holding out for the cheap DVD players :D put a DVD-RW in my basket but put it back for one of you guys :)

[Oo Overclocka oO]

One more question :D

Can I place a few orders so I don't miss some of the deals and then pay for everything in one? Don't want to pay delivery a few times :p

[clayts]

1X DVD-R/RAM for £21 :)

[BigPockets]

Oo the system is automated so if you place a few orders with in say 10-15min then it should be ok, but if they are hours appart chances are one or more would be in the packing department by the time you called...

[Oo Overclocka oO]

Ok thanks for letting me know

What if I select "I will call" as a payment method?

[macca1476]

i just placed an order for one of those 4x dvd -rw. any chance you could add a 25 pack of the bulkpaq -rw onto my order before it gets packed?

[BigPockets]

if you do that then its fine since we would wait for you to pay for the good before packing them...... sorry macca we can't add stuff because of the automated process..

[DaveJP]

Shame it's not like a real car-boot! I'd be haggling over that DVD-Ram writer: will you take a tenner for it?

Dave

[budgie55]

lol @ Dave :D

[frym]

Just ordered a DVD Writer and some disks :clap: , any idea when i am likelly to get a delivery.

Thanks for the bargins :D

[BigPockets]

next few days i would guess tomorrow or thursday

[pompeyfan]

Sorted out delivery to the Isle of Wight yet? I could do with one of those DVD-R/RAM disc burners for the RAM reading facility.

If it helps - Royal Mail and CityLink consider us UK mainland and don't charge extra, we also get regular deliveries from Omega, Parceline and White Arrow so they might not charge extra either.

Cheers

[andysym]

Hiya
Does any software come with the 2.4 min dvd writers?
What's the maximum speed I could get if I order one of these?
Any faster ones going on later?

Thanks in advance

Andy

[BigPockets]

we are in talks with royal mail at the moment for them to cover all of the areas our couriers dont...

[Neo_X]

Out of interest, what were the model numbers of those 4X DVD Writers sold yesterday (the black/white) ones ?

[pivotalgubbins]

Got one of those DVD writers ready to go... however, quick questions?

Are they + or -, or dual format? Are they R and RW?

[andysym]

Yeah I want to know the above before I pays me money

Thanks

Andy

[BigPockets]

sorry which ones dvd writers we on about.... in answer to the question on the other page there is a few 4x dvd+r drives mixed in with the 2.4x.....

[pivotalgubbins]

I'm on about the £19.00 ones...

[BigPockets]

nope just the plain on DVD+R /RW.. & I am sure i have seen some NEC drives in there

[andysym]

Thanks for the quick reply! I have ordered one of the 2.4x speed minimum ones now anyways.

Can I bribe you to get the 4x one?
:n0rty:

Do they do + and - (dual format?)

Cheers again

Andy

[BigPockets]

:suspect: meet you in the car park in 20 min.... bring the cash :suspect:

LOL

& only DVD+ format

[Neo_X]

:suspect: meet you in the car park in 20 min.... bring the cash :suspect:

LOL

& only DVD+ format

LOOL

Anyway, I was asking about those Pioneer/Sony ones which went for £29 yesterday...

[andysym]

I would order some blanks but how will I know what format writer I am getting?
:cuckoo:

Oh ok only + format

Cheers

Andy

[BigPockets]

neo..they are a mix of sony dru drives and DWU drives, as well as pioneer 106

[andysym]

Sorry to be a pain but I have noticed that some of the +r disks say that do not work on some burners: "Not recommend for NEC 1100A / 1300A / 2500A, Lite-on & HP Drives"

I fancy these ones : DVR8020-50 BigPockets Budget
DVD+R X4 Speed Blue 50 Pack £10.99

If I ask nicely could you add these to my order and ship them with the burner for the same shipping cost providing they will work with the burner I am being sent?


:bow:

Ta very much

Andy

[BigPockets]

andy the problem is we can't take a manual payment it all automated, place another order for the DVD disc's and mail me the number to forum@bigpockets.co.uk and i will sort it out with the delivery cost

[budgie55]

hehe Bootsale doing wonders for your post count BP ;)

By the way whos the person behind the BP account on the forums or is it a secret :)

I much prefer to use a name on the forums. Or should we just call you Mr or Mrs BP :D

[andysym]

Hi again

I have sent you an email with my order numbers (Mr/Mrs/MS/Rev/Dr) Big Pockets

Thanks again and top work!

Andy

[BigPockets]

:lol:

well it differs from day to day... just depends who's got the time to do it in the office.... :dork:

you can call me what you like ( :suspect: or maybe not)

[budgie55]

well its nice to know someone always finds the time to help out and cater for us bargain hunters on here :)

Cheers

Allan :)

[simonmcc]

Thanks BP, got myself a DVD-RW, and some disks :lol: :) . Shame about the 15.50 postage to NI though.... [esp with the free delivery items in my order :shrug: ] easyjet would almost be cheaper....

Simon

[BigPockets]

The free delivery is only to UK Mainland addys at the moment

[dvds2000]

As much as I have had a run in with Bigpockets recently regarding postage it does get tiresome reading about the delivery charges to NI. Every thread they put on here someone mentions it. The fact is courier companies charge more for delivery to NI. You should complain to Citylink or whoever delivers the order to you, if they surcharge BP's £10 say then BP are hardly likely to only charge you £5 are they :(

[BigPockets]

dvd playersw now £12.00.... roll up roll up

[Chorlton]

Can't see a £12 DVD player ?????? :(

Have I missed somfink?

Doh - found it!!! Any details????

[andysym]

I dunno some people
:wave:

I would never think of trying that sort of thing... :D

[clayts]

Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms BP - Are you updating on the hour or on the half hour - I'm trying to watch a vital cricket match here :D

[BigPockets]

well its kind of gone to pot since if we did it every hour there would be about 58 min of nothing for sale on the boot section, so its kind of every 20 or so min

[jodennis]

Yes, and mine is H223046, you could make sure I get a nice one too!!!

Please?

[clayts]

well its kind of gone to pot since if we did it every hour there would be about 58 min of nothing for sale on the boot section, so its kind of every 20 or so min

Cheers - next one due at about ten past four then ;) ?!

Good job I've got a Tivo on almost permanent pause as I rush up and down stairs to check your site :)

[jodennis]

Bigpockets, I've just ordered one of the DVD players, but if I were to create another order for eg. CDR2065-100 that come with free shipping, would the orders be combined and I get free shipping for the lot?

Or is it too late now.

[Oo Overclocka oO]

Bah, I go out for about 20 minutes and I missed the £12 DVD players :cry: :cry: :cry:

[BigPockets]

we couldn't combine them, becuase by now the order is being processed.

Oo not to worry mate, this is only day 2, 3 days to go... might be some other goodies.....

[jodennis]

How have the beehive plastic tubs been selling?

[BigPockets]

like hot dogs at a 4th of july party........... :thumbs:

[budgie55]

How have the beehive plastic tubs been selling?

sorry but :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

cheered up my dull afternoon there m8 thx hehe

I'm guessing at either one of 3 options here

They have been selling...

a) in bulk due to cost per unit and taking in to account cost of shipping (not a dig by the way :P )
b) slowly
c) no comment :n0rty: :n0rty:

:D :D

doh pipped to the post by BP :suspect:

[BigPockets]

no i am being serious, we have be selling these by the bucket load.....

but then again we have got millions of them...

[budgie55]

no i am being serious, we have be selling these by the bucket load.....

but then again we have got millions of them...

:eek: :eek:

OK.... whos the poor bugger who had to rip the 1,000,000's of DVD/Cds out of the beehive boxes and stacking them up in the warehouse. :D ;)

/me thinks its the person who gets lumbered with looking after us lot on here :D :D

[BigPockets]

[BigPockets]

[Oo Overclocka oO]

Where can I find the contact phone number for Bigpockets?

I selected "I will call" as a payment method but can't find a phone number on thw site :doh:

[rsykes2000]

In the T&Cs - You can telephone us on (UK) 08717-000081 (Non UK) +44 1384-892333 and fax us on 01384-892777,

[Oo Overclocka oO]

Thanks, I was looking in the Contact Us section

[rsykes2000]

SCSI card - "powerport 3194 uplus" for 2.99 + delivery - 20 available. Seems a very very good price.

[budgie55]

yeah very good price :)

pity we cant consolidate orders over a day or so to cut down on postage costs. I woulda grabbed this at that price and put it with my DVD player for £12 I ordered yesterday :D

[BigPockets]

if you choose "i will call" as the payment, then our accounts department should be able to sort something out when you call and pay for the group.

as long as the orders are all stating 'i will call', and in the same day

[budgie55]

Ah cool thats good to know, thanks for that info BP I will be sure to do that next time.

Cheers

Allan

[DaveJP]

will you be doing any more DVD writers today?

Thanks

Dave

[BigPockets]

possible depends if we have any more in the warehouse that work

[pillima]

SCSI card - "powerport 3194 uplus" for 2.99 + delivery - 20 available. Seems a very very good price.

Aaaaahhhhhh!

I bought one yesterday at £9.99 with a £12 DVD player.

[BigPockets]

unlucky....

dont forget to hammer that F5 Button to get first dibs on the good stuff

[Tesla]

£9.99 - Still a great price at the end of the day.

Yeah you could of saved a whole £7 but was it worth the risk of them all being sold out. I think not.

Nothing has taken my fancy yet...

Was considering the Ram recorder for when i get a DVD ram recorded on my pc but 1x dvd-r is just a bit slow. But cant complain at the bargain price.

The f5 key is pretty worn out now though. lol.

[DaveJP]

Is the graphics card any good? It looked the business from the photo (had a fan) but now the picture has changed and it looks right cheap and nasty!

Dave

[BigPockets]

yes because the original photo had the words free delivery across it, and it hasn't got free delivery. so we had to change it to an generic image

[tcs]

SCSI 1 to 7 Host Adapter 32-bit PCI Bus Master (1)
BP
This is on at both £2.99 & £9.99!

[wiggi]

airship looks cool... just add helium though... where would i buy helium?

[BigPockets]

[Paul]

[BigPockets]

Hi paul we are trying to limited the offers so we have enought to last the week, might have one or two more today..

[BigPockets]

[Neo_X]

Alright people - now head on over to this thread

http://www.thedvdforums.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=302144

[bradtyke]

Any clues? :)

[BigPockets]

[budgie55]

imagine the shock when I went to the Bootsale page and there was nothing there!!! :o

hehe has trading standards been round and asked you guys to pack up your stalls for selling stuff to cheap ;) :P

[BigPockets]

nope..... still going strong..

[mikeh1982]

the page seems to be dead?? everything else works mind, just the "boot sale" page?

[Grandmaster]

I don't see the page either :?:

[rsykes2000]

BP - I am getting same as Budgie - there's nothing at all visible on the Boot Sale page, just the Free Delivery banner at the top.

Edit - Back now :)

[stradled]

yip likewise!

[BigPockets]

try it now...... we had too many people looking at the page and it lock up the server. sorted now.......

[dvds2000]

Craig, I have just ordered a printer but put the following in the special instructions
I will pay by nochex later in case I require anything adding to order (for shipping)
I presume thats ok? I selected nochex as payment rather than I will call - I presume it won't go to be packed until I pay?

[BigPockets]

yeap thats right....if you do get anything else just make a note in nochex when paying with all the order numbers

[Oo Overclocka oO]

Just callled up and the last order from 2 days ago can't be found :( looks like I missed out on the DVD writers :(

[budgie55]

:eek: :eek:

Jordan Mouse Mat 70p :o :o
Description made me giggle though ....

"1 Unit : Jordan from 1999 loaded collection : High quality, thick, foam backed : Go On Treat Yourself... TO CLEAR "

The words "thick" and "foam backed" particularly made me smile for some reason. :D

Maybe its just my warped sense of humour or lack of it :D

My £12 DVD player not been despatched yet either oO hope they didnt lose it amongst the millions of Beehive plastic tubs :D

:edit its now showing as awaiting dispatch :) cool

[BigPockets]

Oo mail me your details to forum@bigpockets.co.uk

[budgie55]

cool been a little slow on this thread today ... guess people have been f5 'ing most of the day :D

BTW BP how long does it usually take to despatch goods?

The DVD player from ermmm 2 days ago I think it was is still saying awaiting despatch on my account.

Not worried like.... I guess you have been saving the best of the players till last for me ;) hehe

My order number is H223024

Cheers

Allan

[BigPockets]

all of the players left, left us today.. we did over sell on some, i have checked and your order is not in our back orders. so dont worry!

[budgie55]

gr8 thanks very much for the quick response apppreciated.

Allan

[jodennis]

Well, BigPockets have certainly served up the goods and in good time too!

Got my DVD player today: Wrapped in bin liner, stuck with tape, opened up to find a tatty looking box.... then inside; a Ronin P807, looking brand new, with remote, batteries, instructions and three lots of phono cables for all the audio outputs. Loaded up and worked first time, five minutes later had found a multiregion hack and was the proud new owner of a £12 multi-region dvd player. DTS and 5.1 outputs via RCA sockets too!

Only one minor imperfection on the top of the player, a slight dent, but would not be visible when in situ and being used!

Didn't really need the player, but for £12 it would have been rude to refuse the offer.

Thanks BigPockets, got a real bargain there! I hope to get some more tomorrow!

[budgie55]

cool jodennis mines been despatched today so will get tommorow all being well :)

fingers crossed mine will be of a similar spec :D

I'll post back tommorow and let you know :)

[BigPockets]

sale is now open again.... ready.......steady.......BASH F5

[macca1476]

I recieved my working return yesterday.. Opened the box and it was a Pioneer DVR-105...

Just one question.. I didnt order discs with it so went to PC World to get some. All they had was imation dvd-rw and after trying to back up data using nero I now have three new coasters. The first said it needed formatting and the other two said that there was an invalid address block..

Any idea what discs work well with the 105? Its safe to assume that these imation dont....

[BigPockets]

macca what was your order number i will send you a ritek to test with it

[budgie55]

I have had problems with DVD-RW media on my DVR106 also (not bought from BP however). Never bought any more to test but seems strange maybe a common prob on the drives I think the media I had was memorex though.

Other than that I am more than happy with the drive over the years I have had it. works gr8 with Ritek G04 media.

[CrazyAl]

BP, just grabbed a 2x DVD-RW drive - I know it might not be possible, but could I have a black drive to match me dell 8300?

Order H224612

Cheers

CrazyAl

[BigPockets]

i can't promise anything al....but i will ask

[CrazyAl]

Cheers BP.

[subhuman]

Meh.

Quietest week at work in a long time, get ready to F5 and see if I can pick me up a cheapie DVD writer and...

Gonna test it when I get home :) Came with all cables manual and remote!!

WOW What a bargain... just need to see if its Multi Region now.... anyone know? .. its a Datawrite DVD player.

Tiny scratch on the top of the case but that wont be seen when its in our cabinet.

I got a Mirror DVD-MIRR110, came without any cables or remote just the bare DVD player.
For some reason subtitles are switched on and without a remote I can't turn them off. :?: Any suggestions on where I can get a remote?

On the plus side it is multiregion and has 5.1.

[budgie55]

perhaps one of the one for all remotes? just guessing here either that or borrow someones pocketpc with some remote software installed on it.

apart from that I dunno :/

edit: can you not navigate through the disc menu to turn them off in audio options or something? presuming you can navigate using the front panel of the machine?

[macca1476]

macca what was your order number i will send you a ritek to test with it
H222817

Shoddy customer service ;) Thanks BP :thumbs: :D

[chapmantr]

I'll take a look at the All In One remotes.
Unfortunately I can't access the menu via the front panel.

But thanks for trying.

[BigPockets]

we aim to please... :)

chap thats a big of a pickle....if we had a remote spare i would send it out to you...

they are generic remotes used with them, if you know anyone with a Mirror/Xwave dvd player, it should work..

[chapmantr]

Thanks BP
I'll ask around.

[BigPockets]

macca discs in the post

[budgie55]

BP do you happen to know the model number for the Datawrite branded DVD player? or does anyone. Im sure it must be a clone of something at least.

Just like to do somereading on its internals :D

[bbevan]

3com 56k Lan Modem**Soiled box** NO POWER LEAD

BP any chance you could tell me what type of power lead this needs, don't want to get out the box to find it needs some mega special adaptor you can't buy for love nor money.

Thinking of ordering as a ADSL backup :)

[BigPockets]

budgie... to be honest i haven't got a clue on the model number, but you are right they are clones. mirror/xwave and some of the early umax players were the same as these, but we haven't sold them new in over 12 months. sorry

bbevan i will have a look.

[BigPockets]

bbevan just a normal DC/AC input

[bbevan]

Kewl thanks BP ;)

[Jim989]

Went for the DVD Writer, added it to basket then went to FAQ to check out delivery costs (never ordered from you before) went to the checkout page and it said "The item you was after is now out of stock" :oh-hum: :oh-hum:

How can I have it in the basket and then it be out of stock? :thinking:

Sorry, but not a good impression for a first time buyer. :nono:

[BigPockets]

Sorry jim, it shouldn't have done that, as soon as it is in the basket it should knock it off the avialable stock, unless you and some one else added it a basket at the same time and they checkout before you.. we will be having some more writers on at about 3pm..

[Jim989]

Oh well, strange things happen. Ill just have to try again later :(

[pillima]

Got my DVD Player and SCSI card today.

The player is a Cyberhome CH-DVD 402.
Box was solid but marked, however the unit and extras inside were in near mint condition.
I've kust checked and can make MR. Will now try and check if it takes the media both ways(!) +R and -R.

A big thumbs-up to BP from me.

BTW - the courier was a bit dim. Our security guard told him in some detail where I was on site yet he ended up in a part of our site wheer there are no offices!

[macca1476]

macca what was your order number i will send you a ritek to test with it

i got a bulkpaq tango from a colleague to test and that failed after about 10% with an internal error. Does this sound like disc compatability problems or could i have got a duff drive?

[BigPockets]

have you tried to update the firmware on the drive, that could solve the problem, test it with the disc i have sent and let me know

[macca1476]

i havent, where do i get the new firmware? and how do i update it :thinking:

[rsykes2000]

Try www.rpc1.org - this has firmware for all DVD players / writers and instructions for each how to install it.

[andysym]

Hi guys

I have got a ricoh MP5125a from the other day and it read dvds fine BUT it will not accept a blank dvd+ (www.bigpockets.co.uk budget series) or one of my normal cdr/cdrw !!!

I have updated the firmware to the correct version from Ricoh (1.72)

Nero cd/dvd speed can see the blank cdr but on My Computer, clicking on the drive it says please insert a blank disk! With the blank dvd+ inserted it will not recgonise the disk at all within both nero and windows!

The red light is coming on, flashes a bit and sometimes sticks on but nothing else :cuckoo:
Help

BTW can you go back down firmwares? Shall I try 1.68 instead of 1.72?

Cheers

:help: Any ideas Big pockets?

[macca1476]

i havent, where do i get the new firmware? and how do i update it :thinking:

ignore me, pioneer have an official firmware.

if i update it and it still doesnt work, can i send it back?

[BigPockets]

yeap no problems

[andysym]

:help: Have you spotted my post above Big Pockets?

I am tearing my hair out here!
Cheers

[pppp]

Hi BP, can you tell me the status of this order please ? H222412

[BigPockets]

[Little_Dragon]

ack..missed the DVD writers again.

Still, really pleased with the GeForce FX5700 you sent me for £17. So still a big :thumbs: for bigpockets.

[CrazyAl]

Had no CS calll as of yet BP....

I did originally ask for a black DVD-RW drive - hopefully you'll still be able to fulfill that if you had some in todays sale.

[BigPockets]

Hi there

I bought one of the cheap 2.4x min dvd writers (Ricoh Mp5125a) the other day along with the bigpockets +r media (50) and couldn't get the drive to work at all with this media even after updating the firmware etc.

I have now sent the drive back and got hold of a Nec 2500a and used the both Nero Info Tool and VSO inspector and both are stating the blue dvd+ disks (4x) I bought are actually - disks! The media id is showing up as VDSPMSAB 01 Media type: DVD-R

Anyone else seen similar with these disks and if not have I just sent back a perfectly good DVD+R burner due to bigpockets misprinting my batch of media?
:eek:

Cheers

Andy

have you tried to update the firmware on the drive, that could solve the problem, test it with the disc i have sent and let me know

Was this disc sent to my home address (scotland) or my preferred address (Woking)? If it was sent to scotland i wont be able to test the ritek disc till next week.

I've tried three different types of disc (Liteon and two different Bulkpaq) and none of them work.

The firmware has been flashed to be the latest one, but every time i try to write to disc i get a 'Power calibration error'...

help

Hello

Can you please answer my question please BigPockets? :wave:

The blue bigpockets +r media 4x (50) I have bought from you are showing up in both Nero Info Tool and VSO inspector as - disks! The media id is showing up as VDSPMSAB 01 Media type: DVD-R

Have I just sent back a perfectly good DVD+R burner (Ricoh Mp5125a) due to you selling me - disks (50 of them!) with + written on them? :oh-hum:

[BigPockets]

andy i sent you a mail this morning ref to this, i will check the drive this morning to make sure nothing is wrong with it..

we were unaware of any printing error (until Now).... leave it with me andy

[andysym]

I haven't received a mail this morning regarding this and that email account has been working fine all morning otherwise I wouldn't have pestered you in here :shrug:

As I say both Nero Info Tool and VSO inspector were telling me the disks are - and not + when using the Nec 2500a writer to check.

I have searched a lot and can not find any other reason for a + disk to be reported as a - other than the disk is indeed a - disk!

Cheers again :thumbs:

Andy

[BigPockets]

ok andy not to worry one of the teki's is testing the drive at the moment, if it works ok we can return it to you, and we will sort out your disc's too... ok?

[andysym]

[CrazyAl]

BP rang me back - all sorted now :thumbs:

..Looks like I spoke to soon - installed the drive today and Nero just spits all my Ritek & Datawrites back out saying they are not empty. Me 2500a and 107 are quite happy with the media, so its down to the drive.

I think I'll just have a refund please, can't be arsed with all this.

I've filled out an RMA form.

[andysym]

Big pockets you have another e mail as I have not got the replacement disks or refund yet :shrug:

Andy

[BigPockets]

it is sorted

[CrazyAl]

BP

Bought a car-boot sale DVD-RW.

Can I ask why I have to foot the bill for return postage of items that are delivered to me in a faulty state?

First you send me an incorrect item (DVDROM), then you send me the correct item although it doesnt like ANY blank media, so I am returning this for a refund.

CrazyAl

[BigPockets]

al e-mail me your details with who you have spoken to to forum@bigpockets.co.uk, i will sort it

[CrazyAl]

Details mailed - thanks for looking into this.

[CrazyAl]

BP

Just got my refund through, but this has not included the return postage to yourselves of this item which was £8. Please re-imburse this amount to me as the item was DOA to myself & am questioning why I should foot the bill for this.

Cheers

HI BP, I have emailed you a couple of times you collected an MP3 player from me last week, can I arrange for a replacement to be sent?

Hi BigPockets... I posted this on another of your threads but it got no reply so perhaps you missed it?..

BigPockets

Not to do with this thread, but just wondering if you still own www.bigproducts.co.uk?

If you still do, you might be interested to know that if I go to that URL, I get a single line message "Couldn't select database" and that's it.

If not, please ignore me :)

[BigPockets]

hi nujol, yes we still own the domain...it should forward you to BigPockets...????

thanks i'll look into this
