Subject: Re: DEC systems for sale by dealer in Florida
I've tried dealing with these folks in the past.
It's a wonder they're
still in business. The conversation goes something like:
Me: I'm interested in XYZ
CP: I'll have to go to the warehouse to see if we have it in
stock. I'll call you back when I know something.
...and I would never get a call back. Repeated calls would just end in
a loo (ie same response and no progress).
Maybe those people are waiting for a company still using the equipment to
have a breakdown? Who knows they probably are using the equipment to
guarantee loans for something else they are doing. Lots of places have
warehouses full of total junk that's valued at $xxxxxxxxxx allowing them to
borrow against the inventory. IF they sell the items for what the going
market rate is they would be ruined.
