    I noticed that my cf-30 has no belt hooks on the back.

    I looked in a few service manuals and only found the block out covers.

    Are there belt hooks made?

    Seems like the hooks were stopped after the CF-29 mk2's... I've seen them on all mk2's but none on any mk4 's...

    I was wondering the same thing... notice on the CF-30 that IT DOES have thred holes on the back that are COVERED up with a sticky piece of plastic... HRRRMMMM.... I loved my belt hook on my Mk2 CF-29... I had the strap (bought it for $15 and sold it for $45 2 years later too!! :D)

    Ya i noticed the hooks and wondered about it. I started to peel off the stickers but then stopped. Now i want belt hooks or i am going to need new covers since one of them is kinda popping up and it bugs me.

    I was gonna try and put some cf-29 hooks on but i think they have 2 screw holes and the cf-30 only seems to have one but i have not taken the sticker all the way off yet so i dunno.

    If anybody is going to order some stuff from heartland could you please add some of the covers for me. I will pay for the parts and shipping to me in an envelope.

    I dont want to pay heartland $20 for shipping on $2 worth of parts its just crazy.

    Dood, thats the way I roll!!! I'm a business man, I ALWAYS MAKE A KILLING! lol... The best deal (or steal if you may) was this:

    I walk into a best buy store to buy a couple laptops. I find an open box sony FSN-S290 (I think that was the model, but am not 100%...) anyways this was the best laptop at the time that money could buy!! it was a 17" notebook with dual hard drives and a dvd burner, xp pro the whole shebang (radeaon 9700 pro was top notch back then, and this had that too...) Anyways I bought the thing for $1530 out the door cash. I used it for about 6 or 7 months, put about $200 into it (ram hard drives ect...) and turned around and sold it on ebay for $3,210 shipped.

    Also one time I bought an HP Celeron laptop with a dvd burner for $300 from frys as a black friday deal, used it for close to a year and turned around and sold it on ebay for $590 shipped!!. I always make a killing, thats just what I do.

    On top of laptops I also managed to buy my $40,110 car for $30,100 NEW, on top of selling my scion XB for $9,500 when i only owed $5500 on the loan. + I put an extra $2000 down and walked away with a $40k car for $30k managing a low payment of only $493/month on a 5 year loan.

    I LOVE DEALING! :D

    O yea, one more thing... I got a hold of a 24" widescreen Apple monitor for FREE with a bad inverter, put $65 into a new inverter, fixed it, and sold it on ebay for $390. I also managed to get a (at the time $320) canon photo printer i960 for FREE, bought a new print head for $90 and some ink and still use it to this day!!!.

    Also the other printer I have (Samsung u550n I think it is)... anyways its a color laserjet with duplex printing (prints on both sides). I bought 10 of them for $320 each, sold 9 of them on ebay for $400 shipped, made close to $450 for doing nothing (only costed me $30/each to ship), kept one and still use it to this day. Just as if my luck never goes away I recieve another EXACT model in my shop that a customer dropped off because it had "water damage" to it. It was defiently broken, but the $600 worth of toner (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) + the transfer belt, fuser, imaging drum, and waste toner tank WERE FINE. I kept those and still have it to this day!! (about $500-$600 worth of supplies), which cost more than the d@mn printer!!!

    Wow you really do work like a business man. I am impressed. No wonder you got a cf-30 you make bank off selling stuff. Gotta love the black Friday sales tho :)

    I have managed to snake a few deals here and there and make super profit on it but you got it down to a science.

    I mostly work the system a bit to get super deals the problem is i never turn around and sell it. I got stuff everywhere. Usually it is too cool for me to let go of it :)

    I went into best buy one time to get a new DVD player. I walked around found a nice Sony (i think) DVD player it was open box so it was marked down and i got a gift card if i bought it. I was like sweet so now i can get a wall mount for my LCD TV. I looked around and found another open box wall mount with a gift card. Then found a HDMI cable marked down in the wrong box with another gift card.

    SO I went and bought one item at a time got the gift card and bought the next. I ended up leaving best buy with a monster hdmi cable, LCD wall mount and a new up-converting hdmi DVD player for $45.00

    Man I robbed them. The funny thing was they rung me up wrong on one of the items so i went back in to customer service and made them correct it and give me more money back. The rep was laughing at me and wondered how in the hell i managed to get off with over $300 worth of stuff for less than $50 bucks. Man that was a good day.
