What a bargain! Especially when they are refurbished.

Oh, I would go with the first one (Supply_Sale) because the auction description says:

"100% GUARANTEE, ALL PRODUCT IS TESTED BEFORE SHIPMENT"

while that cheaper one doesn't even mention anything about a DOA warranty or exchange privileges.

Hmm... upon reading the fine print I see that since I live in California there's also a 7.75% tax. Well, that's a deal! The county I live in has a 8.25% sales tax rate! I'm saving money! Woo hoo!!!

Note: Read the previous lines with a blend of sarcasm, disdain and disgust to get my actual meaning :) .

Well, if you look at ALL of their listings, the cheapest auctions out of the over 29,000 items they are offering starts off at $217. That they have only 5 negatives out of 400 feedbacks say that the buyers were either really in need of that item or that the quote falsely attributed to P.T. Barnum ("there's one born every minute") is true.

Other than P.T. Barnum,

I have no clue how these people get away with pricing like this.

I have about 6 DDR SODIMM's I could sell. If I were to sell them at $750, thus undercutting the other sellers I should make bank!

I agree with you ray. I thought IT equipment express was bad. I also don't know how they stay in business with no descriptions and no pictures.

I don't understand any of their feedback. People are bidding on random items with very little information.
