    Getting it from the source works. <a href="http://store.apple.com"; target="_blank">store.apple.com</a> or else CompUSA. The only places that you will get discounts would be Universities. Or the educational section of the apple store. Or else through apple's developer's store (as long as you are a developer, or student developer... see ADC thread).

    a place called Eaten Apple Inc. offered me a 667mhz 30 gig for $1500 new&gt;

    if something seems to good to be true, it probably is.

    From website:

    This right here makes this place suspect. What sort of store only accepts methods of payment that can't be cancelled if you don't receive your product, such as credit cards?



    All of their specs pages are COMPLETE rips of apple's web pages graphics and all.



    I dunno how easy it is to get an 800-number but they are an extention on an 800 number which is kinda of weird for a business.



    The email is '@hotmail.com'



    The home page of this site is a rip from apple's web site on the powerbook. The site is VERY low tech. I would not trust this web site with a match in a fireworks factory. Looks toooo much like it's a scam and it looks very similar to the ebay.com scam auctions. He says that he is a apple retailer, but offers no proof except a graphic that I could have ripped from any site that really is an apple retailer.



    OMG!!!! He actually links to ebay.com auctions he has going on too. This is soooooo a scam. I think that Mubot might want to investigate this site since he is so into the ebay powerbook scams. I wouldn't even trust this guy to wash his hands after 'relieving' himself.
