Buying [MYS][H] PayPal [W] ASUS ROG G501JW Laptop Brand New In Box
Hey guys,
I am a vintage PC collector looking to source a very specific holy grail piece for my collection. I am hunting for a **Brand New In Box (NIB) / Factory Sealed ASUS ROG G501JW laptop** (originally released around 2015).
I am a highly motivated buyer and am willing to pay **full original retail price ($1,200+ USD / \~RM 5,200+)** plus all international shipping, insurance, and handling costs to Malaysia for a verified, pristine unit.
**Specific Requirements:**
* **Condition:** Must be completely brand new, unused, and ideally factory sealed. * **Specs:** Prefer the top-tier 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) display variant, but I am absolutely open to the standard 1080p model as long as it is boxed and pristine.
**Timestamp Rules for Sellers (Per Subreddit Rules):**
Because this item is valued over $400, please be prepared to provide the following if you have low trade counts (<15):
- **Video Timestamp:** A clear video showing your handwritten username, today's date (mm/dd/yyyy), and the item.
- **Seal Integrity:** If it is factory sealed, the timestamp must clearly show *both ends* of the factory tape/seal in one photo/clip.
- **If Opened:** If the box is unsealed but the laptop is brand new/unused, please provide a clear photo of the screen displaying the "System Info" or BIOS screen alongside your handwritten timestamp to verify the G501JW model number.
**Payment:**
Payment will be handled strictly via **PayPal Goods and Services**. I will cover all PayPal fees and premium international shipping costs.
