Wouldn't it be better if the "Hardware and software for consumers throughout New Zealand" that appeared at the was all on one line?

279460 2004-10-16 05:45:00 may be a something..... have a custom system builder where you can select certian makes/models of components and build your own system..... Prescott (11)
279461 2004-10-16 05:47:00 Just checked your prices again and they still remain unrealistic

Seagate 120 meg 7200 hardrive 2mb cache $191
there is no earthly reason i would buy this online (especially when it appears you have to use pay pal ) when i can nip down to the local shop and pick it up for $157 or go online to many nz sites and pay only $133

but on a more positive note reasonable prices on flash cards and usb drives.

Details still lacking
256MB of PC133 SDRAM for older computers that cannot accept DDR memory $92

At your prices quite reasonable deal if it is double sided but it doesn't state that
Many older comps balk at single sided. I suspect at that price it is single sided but you shouldn't have to guess.

you are getting there

279462 2004-10-16 07:56:00 Yeah on that note, you might wanna note that you claim one of your systems has "... an AMD AthlonXP 2600+Ghz processor ..." Growly (6)

uh......Cost is $152.......Are you suggesting he lose money on the deal?,Perhaps others are the ones with unrealistic prices?

Having said that the one im looking at has the 8mb cache,nevermind,the price difference will only be 6 or 7 dollars.

279465 2004-10-16 09:22:00 ah well,Either they buy those through a cousin in Tiawan or they are making 20c per sale,either way they have unrealistic prices and no good will come from it. metla (154)
279466 2004-10-16 09:30:00 Just looked up another couple of pricelists,what they have listed on that site Growly is below cost,even if they bought them in bulk they shouldnt be able to sell them at the price,...

I may mail them on Monday to see if they will supply at that price......

No what I am saying if there are dealers out there willing to sell product at stupidly low prices online why should i care about there profit/loss and not take advantage of it. If you want to compete online it looks like you have to use tactics like these. If iI was joe public doing a search thru pricespy am I even going to visit jfgih or what ever this website is (there you go the name doesnt roll of the old memory synapses that easily) or go for the lowest price I spot ?

Not that i would mind you I am intensely suspicious I would rather pay a little extra and support my local supplier who has a boring website, doesnt sell online and does very well out of it.
