| 738964 | 2009-01-15 07:25:00 | They still be there till the 31st march - so as the old saying goes - get your orders in now. I noticed late today that the stock levels were very low on some things - just gone back in , and items that were there at 6 tonight are no longer listed. |

Those are just SRPs. BDT never sold directly to the public, only resellers and their prices are pretty much the same as everywhere else. |

| 738968 | 2009-01-15 19:12:00 | Exactly right CYaBro :thumbs: memphis - if you want to compare prices - take the Corsair PSU's for example - the SRP price shown is rather high compared to other places - but a reseller can purchase from BDT and still match any other price any one has . Price spy is a joke some of the time - I've even tested it myself, and if you call some of these places, they say - not in stock , no longer available - or old prices etc . Take another example - from Ascent ( . ascent . co . nz/productspecification . aspx?ItemID=359956" target="_blank">www . ascent . co . nz) the OEM Microsoft MM keyboard/Mouse - for the price they charge you can buy OEM from BDT - and get 3 sets . |

| 738969 | 2009-01-15 19:14:00 | Crap. That is where we usually look for video cards. Where do the rest of you get your video cards from? On a side note, Dove have finally started packaging our orders correctly :) they used to just use a bit of paper to protect the stock from the couriers manhandling it. |

| 738970 | 2009-01-15 19:22:00 | Crap is it --- heres proof (www.imagef1.net.nz) - take the price of Ascents - now take that price- add gst and divide x 3 :p. As for graphic cards - that all depends - some places have better deals sometimes, or others are out of stock. Sometimes BDT have been $20-$30 less than other places, other times within a dollar or two. Up here in Wgtn - dove have ALWAYS packaged the items well - sometimes its a fight to get them open - even if they are shipped up from CHCH because wgtn's out of stock - never had any damages, all arrive in perfect condition. |
