Insane Mac prices!!! $990 for a new 800mhz iMac!!

in General Discussion edited January 2014
I found this web site this morning, and admittedly, it's more for resellers rather than the general public. However, these prices are unbelievable!!!



<a href="http://exchange-usa.com/~exchange/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/index.html"; target="_blank">http://exchange-usa.com/~exchange/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/index.html</a>;



Now, I've done my research and here's what I found out.

1. The phone number goes nowhere

2. No response from the 'sales' email

3. Checked the owner of the domain and emailed him - the address for the domain was in Utah, while the business is in Tampa Florida.

4. BBB has no record of them doing fraudulent business and I even contacted the Tampa FL branch and they confirm it.

5. The address comes up as a residential address - not a warehouse as they claim. Picture included:





What do you guys think? Would you trust it?

    Believe it or not, reseller prices are very cheap and often considered unbelievable. These prices are just insane and I know it's a farce. But, I wanted to see if anyone has had success with these folks or horror stories.

    "I can't imagine coming home one day to find that my bank statement was $3,000-$6,000 less than before. These people are F-ing evil. Where are you getting this info, peregrinus? Hopefully csa1234's fraud complaint will get the ball rolling on shutting these ppl down. And it looks like djmey is from the NH police? Looks like these guys better start running....

    DOH!!

    Well, one day too late -poo on me.

    At least I did my homework including researching all sources and I went as far to call the Sheriff of that city! I told him that I believed there was some shady business going on but he suggest I call the BBB - which I already did - and found the satellite picture of the house!



    This case is not closed yet!

    Instead of having info going up in 2 identical threads, let's close this one up.



    Thanks for the info Mr. Fantastic.
