Several friends of mine got a 3 page flyer from:
Random Computers, Inc.
1626 S. Orchard #310
Boise, Idaho 83705
208-322-3433
They have several computer products, explaining that yes, their prices
are extremely low because they work on a fixed 7% commission over
cost and deal direct with importers and US corportate over stock, etc.
30 day refund/return policy (minus shipping)
Company/personal checks require 5 days to clear
Money orders & certified checks accepted
Mastercard/Visa add 3%
COD 25% down
Prices include shipping
>SOME< of the prices are (list too long and advertising for them is not
my intent...):
IBM AT 1.2MB RAM, 20MB HD, 1.2MB FD, S/P $3730
IBM XT 256K, one 360K FD, one 10MB HD $1700
IBM PC 256K, two 360K FD $999
Also Apples & Macs...
19 different printers...
Epson FX-80 (160cps,80 col) $210
Several Monitors...
AMDEK COLOR 700 Ultra HI RES, RGB $269
Several modems...
HAYESsmartmodem 1200 (RS-232) $210
Also hardware cards for IBM, apple, harddrives, and software.
Now the reasons of this message and for listing the more popular
items is that these prices seem too good to be true. Are they?
Has anyone done business with them? The best price I have seen
from scanning Byte and Computer shopper for a Hayes 1200 is around
$380 + shipping. I really would like to take advantage of
these prices as they are far lower than anything I have seen, hence
it is flagging a big concern. Is there a way to check them out?
Does anyone know about them? Please let me know if you have any
info.
Thanx,
Gern
