This is the real scam.

"Hi, thanks for your email, all systems are built-to-order and are shipped
directly from the factory. All orders come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Thank you for your interest!"

They will take your money first and after 30 days, rerurn to you. Loose nothing. Guys, don't you remember what happened last time to Salesoutlet.com, they listed FreeSpeech's Toshiba products, but no one got it. Be careful! Call their 877 number, busy. It is really same as last time as we already reported to Better Business B. Nor sure if this scam is against LAW. Any legal expert idea?

I was wondering would it be possible to attempt to pricematch with staples. they have the same models as staples on the satellite pros and porteges but half the price

Even if it was possible to price match, i wouldn't want to kill another e-business taking advantage of a scam - which is a scam in itself. I'm sure you were joking, right? ;)

Its a scam however do not be quick to condemn any company that accepts Paypal; maybe if its Paypal Only. Our company just started accepting Paypal as another method of payment because its cheaper for us than our merchant charges for VISA/MC/Etc.

This however is a scam.

This is funny, I work as a Toshiba Rep for the area of Greensboro/Winston Salem area, and I never heard of this place. The laptops being described are really Toshiba brand laptops, although they arent built to order, thats how they are retail. I might give the guy a call...lol. I would definitely buy one IF hes legit.

Heres how much those laptops go for in the store:

1715-CDS: $899
2805-s201: $1199
2805-s301: $1699
s805-s401 $2199

I think factory = street, and "made to order" is = stolen. And "30 day money back" = used, so we may take it back if the "used" one doesn't work (because it is stolen).

This is their return policy gaurantee:
"You can try any machine FREE for 30 days, with a major credit card. If you don't like it, we'll cancel the charge and you'll owe nothing. We'll even come to you and pick it up. FREE"

Now how the heck will they pick it up from me in Los Angeles if they're in New York?!?!

LOL, this is an old scam from about a year ago. I still remember some hard headed idiots who still thought they were gonna get their laptops after 3 months.

This is obviously a scam. Why anyone would even consider buying a laptop from these jokers is way beyond me.
