276836 2004-09-29 20:35:00 I have found all the retailers I have dealt with so far excellent
I buy a lot of computer gear online from many different sources & haven't had a problem in the 3yrs I've been doing it.
If there is one gripe I have, it is the time it can take for the goods to arrive sometimes.
But all in all, very happy so far, no-one I can slag off yet
Best 2 I have dealt with so far are Ascent & ETC

276839 2004-09-30 00:01:00 I would like to see people selling online pricing at under retail price. I have checked out various consumer items and in a lot of cases the products are dearer than you would have to pay if you went to the local outlet.
The costs of trading online must be less than running a retail store and prices should reflect that.

The widespread selling of computer hardware from homes has caused the prices of all items to drop to the point its barely worth bothering to sell them,its certainly not worth stocking them,in most cases the margin of profit is a few dollars,Selling a 120gb hd and getting 12 dollars from the exercise is not a good feeling,I suggest you enjoy the fact that no matter what your purchasing your getting it at the expense of the retailers livlihood and getting it for as low a price as its ever going to be.

If prices dropped any lower then there would be no markup at all.
