Potential is the word. And knock about $250,000 off the price. :p

All he/she is doing is advertising his/her business and making it look legit so TradeMe doesn't bin the auction.

I can hazard a guess and say that everyone here who looked at the auction went and looked at the website, including me.

It's working.

You may well be right. I resisted though. I'm proud of my slackness in following links now.

So? How many of us bought something?

Exactly.

They weren't cheap, compared to what else is out there.

Just because a car yard is advertising x amount of years interest free you don't go and buy a car. You keep it in mind for when you do.

I'm guessing when someone wants to buy something PC related, they are going to have a look at this website.

You may do, I'm guessing when someone wants to buy something PC related, they would more than likely go somewhere like PriceSpy than that site

I don't know about that. It looks to be a brand new business, so unless it is the cheapest, you don't know that they are going to be around in a yearif you need customer support or warrenty help. I still usually buy from Ascent, you may pay a little bit more, but they do have excellent aftersales service, and it is still better value and better service than big box retailers.

Agree - we had our wireless router die the other day - Ascent sent a replacement out next day without us having to send the dud back first.
