I purchased an 8500 128 mb card for $74 shipped and a AIW 9700 PRO for $214 shipped. I responded to the Yahoo email as it stated (cservice@ati.com,) and asked a question within the response. I have now recieved tracking numbers for both purchases and also an answer to my question, even though my cc has not been charged, yet. (Hoping...) So, they are not just processing orders, but READING the emails and responding to inquiries. On FiringSquad, someone posted they called ATI's customer service number and was able to give them their cc# verbally.
Since this is posted on www.ati.com's front page and you email them at
cservice@ati.com, I would think this is legit. Even at "Buy Now" prices, I consider this a hot deal. I can't find anything on Price Watch that comes even close. Also, since almost everything is being sold at "Buy Now" prices, is this really an auction?
There are a few listings that don't have "Buy Now" prices and they have quickly passed the "Buy Now" prices. One AIW 9700 PRO is already at $280 shipped, so I consider my $214 a good price.
