I was just at resellers checking on ubid.com and I noticed some of the ubid reviews praised ecost.com, so I went there for a looky see.
WOW! what a rip off place that is.

thats a lot of $$ for a very old machine and without a Hdd too. check out the price on a 150 MHz notebook.

Lots of places have what is now very old stock sitting around on pricelists, still attached to their original price... its the price of new equipment

not keeping their sites current is a symptom of bad management. how do they run their other affairs? - do they ship in crate paper or bubble wrap? - how's their service and return policy......

no thanks - I'll steer clear.....

they will eventually go out of business and their stock will show up on a trailer somewhere at a flea market for what it's really worth today.....

more over-priced junk I don't need - I'm already over my quota
