Not to mention that you can't get a refund, you pay $5 or $6 to get in whether you buy or not, and you may never see the same vendore ever again. Most "new" stuff are factory seconds/refurbs and they don't tell you that the warranty doesn't apply (saw one guy pulling the "refurb" stickers off boxes at one iI went to in Louisville last year) Not all of the vendors are crooks but there sure is a high percentage. -> -----Original Message----- -> From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Chad Fernandez -> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 12:22 PM -> To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> Subject: Re: SCSI problems -> -> -> We had a Market Pro show here once or twice.

There have been a few regulars as well as a few local Louisville retialers selling off excess stock at the Marketpro one but most people don't know anyone there but still buy. I guess it's no worse than a blind bid on ebay but at least ebay insures most sales. -> -----Original Message----- -> From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Chad Fernandez -> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 11:08 PM -> To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> Subject: Re: SCSI problems -> -> -> One thing I like about the A1 SuperComputer shows here in Michigan is -> that I do see the same vendors time and time again. -> -> Chad Fernandez -> Michigan, USA -> -> Russ Blakeman wrote: -> > -> > Not to mention that you can't get a refund, you pay $5 or $6 to get in -> > whether you buy or not, and you may never see the same vendore -> ever again. -> > Most "new" stuff are factory seconds/refurbs and they don't -> tell you that -> > the warranty doesn't apply (saw one guy pulling the "refurb" -> stickers off -> > boxes at one iI went to in Louisville last year) Not all of -> the vendors are -> > crooks but there sure is a high percentage. ->
