Hey guys,

Can comeone PM me a reputable dealer for a 12 month art card ?

I take it Ebay is a no no ? They have 12 month cards on there for £95 delivered ??

[BGonaSTICK]

I don't mind members posting links to satellite dealers if they're genuinely passing on useful information as opposed to blatantly advertising their own stuff

Lets hear what deals people are finding out there for ART cards

[Chrisuk]

I mailed a guy on Ebay earlier today ( sharplcd45 ) regarding an art card (1-6), the movie channels & extra's, insured & delivered for £94.99.

I asked him if they did discounts for purchasing more than 1 card (I was thinking of a forum group buy), and got this response,




Hi Chris

As per below there would not be much discount, but always looking for more traders to join us.

We supply many satellite shops, forums and installation Companies all over Europe. To be honest we are at rock bottom with the cards on Ebay already due to a current price war. However we can supply as many cards as you like, at all times.

We are international shipping agents with offices world-wide, and me based in the UK. We have Gibraltar, Cyprus and Thailand offices, and you can view our sites on www.cpaolo.com and www.marconidigital.com .

We are happy to drop ship for you all over Europe and if you send your invoice to us we will even place your invoices in the shipment, making it look like the goods come direct from you, as we do for many other sat shops. We are not interested in your client base but always note all serial numbers and the date sent, so our database lets us know when the cards you buy from us are up for renewal.

We can reactivate the cards electronically, and want you to deal with us all year long. With all the above in mind, your clients should come back to you and you us year after year. We are official Arabesque distributors and all cards come direct from Art direct, with no other middle men. All our cards are 100% guaranteed and you have full E.U and UK consumer rights when dealing with us.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me on any of the numbers below, or this my private email address.

Assuring you of our very best attention at all times;
Kind Regards

Ebay price is £35 cheaper than website price !! Think this is a safe bet? I want to get rid of Sky asap

[BGonaSTICK]

It all sounds genuine, but I'm not about to vouch for the guy

I know many guys who bought ART cards from one of the other ART dealers on eBay (K_J_S, now T_A_K) - some duff cards got swapped out, some are still working and some guys have seemingly been given the runaround.

Be careful out there!

[Chrisuk]

Asked him whats going on about some of the cards being zapped, and asked if his were protected in case they go off etc, got this response:


The only cards being Zapped are Algerian cards, we do not buy Algerian cards. We international shipping agents and official authorised Art distributors, in Gibraltar, Cyprus and Thailand. You as always have full E.U consumer rights and prtection. You also have Paypal insurance built in on this sale. We are not a micky mouse dealer and you can view our sites at www.marconidigital.com and www.cpaolo.com. If in the very unlikely event of any of our cards being switched off, deactivated, of course you will get a complete refund or replacement.
Kind Regards
Craig
