About 1 year ago,a new computer place opened near to where I live.
Did a lot of advertising,great prices,etc.
Went to check them out,there was a line outside the door,innocent people(non computer savvy) buying these systems at cheap prices.
Browsed through and realized this outfit was selling refurbished,pure junk as brand new.
A friend's description was "After leaving,he had the urge to take a shower"
The business folded, took the money and ran.
It goes to show the slogan of a NY clothing company is true " Educated consumers are our best customers"
It was a shame,because an honest mom and pop computer shop was accross the street,that offered some great bargains on basic systems,been there for 5 years.
