[comp.sys.mac] ClubMac mail order house - are they for real?

paryavi@harris.cis.ksu.edu (Saiid Paryavi) (10/15/89)

In this week's MacWeek there is an ad for a mail order house called ClubMac.
Their prices are real low.  Here are a few examples:

	Conner 100mb hard disk	$675
	Quantum 80mb hard disk	$695
	Raster Ops 24bit video	$699  <------   WOW!

Has anyone dealt with this company before?  I would like to here your
experiences with this company before I buy anything from them.

Thanks

Since I posted this article, a number of people have requested ClubMac's
address and phone number.  So, here it is:

ClubMac
7 Musick
Irvine, CA  92718
Phone:  714-768-1490
Fax:  714-768-7307


I must mention that I am not connected with this company in any way and this
is not an advertisement.  I was merely impressed by their prices and want to
find out if they are worth dealing with.

I have seen prices in this catagory from numerous mail-order houses.
The RasterOps 264 card, which drives the Apple 13" color monitor and
lists for $995 retail can be bought from a local ComputerLand for
$705, so a $6 saving really isn't so "WOW!". Recently picked up a 
Quantum 80 from MacLand for the exact same price.

I have no experience with this particular vendor, so I can't comment
on the service. Remember, when calling, ask specifically about shipping
dates, when your card will be billed, etc.
