If you know what your looking for and you want to save money! Compare - apples to apples. Here's where I buy from - www.pricewatch.com -And don't tell to many people, because this is where distributors compete below retail. -Tell them Mike sent you-ha ha!
I'm new to computing and have posted to forums only twice. I received excellent advice and was able to solve the problems as a result. I'm back for some general advice.
I want to purchase new hardware for my business and want a good buy on a brand-name computer. I need a good internet system with storage for databases and room for standard business applications, ect., and would like to have fast multimedia capabilities. I've been looking at Dell 8400s on Ebay. They appear to be suitable to my needs and budget.
My question is however, are these systems cheaper because they're outdated, stolen, broken or some other reason? Are the sellers legitimate? They seem to be. How are they able to purchase at a price and sell for much less than the manufacturer. Any information or recommendation is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!!
