Shaner) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Mail Order Amigas (Was Re: Amiga Whirled and WB 1.4) Message-ID: <90079.100809LDSHANER@MTUS5.BITNET> Date: 20 Mar 90 15:08:09 GMT References: <1880@crash.cts.com> Organization: Computing Technology Services, Michigan Technological Univ. Lines: 16 Considering the fact that Commodore dropped all mail order vendors as authorized dealers, you can bet that anything being sold by MO is black market, used or defective. Mongomery Grant is a good example of a company that takes advantage of real Amiga dealers who go out of business and must liquidate stock. I'm sure CBM is doing its best to find out who is leaking the machines to them. Who knows, they may infact be getting them from overseas as previously posted. ------- +--------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | LEON D.
