[scamjefe]

what is this?? some kind of conspiracy?? how come it' showing up as 1499 for some and 1029 for others? Any ideas from you comp geeks out there?

 

[lagginmofo]

Use them for pricematching only!!!!

Check out their rating at resellerratings.com!!!
1.5 out of 7 possible.

Hardly anyone had anything good to say about them.

I read through the comments on resellerratings.com and someone gave the url for the BBB report on them:
http://38.149.37.128/xreport.xcgi?12871

Good luck to anyone that orders.

[Scorpi0]

I'm one of the unlucky ones, see $1499

 

[Scorpi0]

When I checked from another machine I see $1029!!!

 

[Scorpi0]

Although $1029 is a great price for this laptop, I'll pass this one. I don't trust them a bit. Remember the previous thread about those guys... Horror stories!!

 

[1cito]

On another computer i got $1029. Good luck trying to PM this one!

 

[bomb99]

i see 1029, does anyoen know where i should go to PM a online store?

 

[Ficano]

Well, we can always PM with Amex blu

what do you guys think?

 

[Siamskunk]

Better PM using Click Citi card with upto $1000 per item (Blue max out at $250).
Click Citi term
The closest you can get is around $1500

I just applied for this card a couple days ago and hope it arrives before it's too late.

update: ordered one, called today to confirm, got Jimmy at x111 in the notebook division.

This is definately a fast-talking operation, but Jimmy didn't BS me. He said these were gray market units...new, but needed to be shipped to Taiwan if repairs became needed. I passed.

He had a few resealed by HP &quot;class a refurbs,&quot; bought at auction, for $1499. I passed.

I don't care for their business model, but at least once I called they didn't evade or fib or waste much of my time.

Hope this helps anyone interested.
