    Hi there guys / girls!

    Recently, I got a rush to buy me some of those nice Roomba robot vacuum cleaners, but sadly, the latest model available in my country is the 550 and it costs USD 750! :confused:

    While the one I'd really like is the 570, which in the USA costs USD 449.99! :aktion033:

    I'll be at the Grand Oasis / Be Live from around march 6th until the 22th aprox.

    Anyone willing to do me this favor? I will of course PayPal you the money before you make the purchase and you might even charge me some S&H if you want.... :wink3: but no problem, I'd still pay them!

    Here is the exact model: iRobot: Robots: Roomba Robots: iRobot Roomba® 570

    Anyway... let me know if someone want to do this and I'd be extremely greateful, especially if you are a girl! :ladiesman1:

    J/K, thanks in advance and let me know what you think

    Yeahp, but couldn't find any of them. eBay doesn't list the product, Amazon won't ship it here and even if I've found someone who would ship it, it will get frozen in customs since because of regulations we can't (legally) directly import devices with AC plugs such as the american one (two flat connectors).

    That is... unless I bring it back myself in the duty free shop bag! :p

    I've looked around in some Cancun ads, I think in the downtown they sell them but they were even more expensive that what I could get here the 550 model for!

    LOL, XD I literally bursted out loud when I read your comment, I figured how crazy this thread would look like! :clappyinghappy:

    Thanks kellz for your answer! Yes, that 570 would be the model. I would be staying at the Grand Be Live from 6/3 until 21/3 (aprox). I say would because I'm still deciding, at last minute, flights and hotel availability.

    Will you be around Quintana Roo (a.k.a. Cancun ;)) at that time?

    Yeah... I know it seems weird, but no problem if you don't want to do it. The worst thing that could happen is that I never show up and you got a free robot vacuum cleaner :p (remember, I'd send the money via PayPal before)

    I reserved my T-shirt as Marty (I'm Martin) with number 10, so at least when you spot me there say "hey! the vacuum guy!" :)
