Dear Segmund, thanks for joining QL team and opening your pandora box. As far as QL, these are the most visited sites by readers. Thers's a reason, here, most of the people / families when they settle they spend a lot of money buying all the house hold items, when they get better job they move out, the exodus rate is more, the only option is to sell them back for best prices. Not all the companys provide furnished villas. HP laptops price ranges from 2500 upto 6000 depending on the configurations, you cant deny that, besides seller is also equally clever to check, bargain then buys. There's absolutely no crime in this. Because of this any shops closed their business ? no, its best way to dispose at nominal cost instead of total waste. I think your 2 months " living in Qatar" is premature to understand + & - of " Qatar living " Have a nice time ahead.
