All mail order houses that sell Commodore Amiga hardware are considered
'grey market' and therefore it is VERY dangerous to buy hardware from
them.  Harry Copperman clearly stated that they are going to de-certify
any dealer that resells to mail order houses.  If you buy CBM hardware
from mail order you might NOT have the same recourse that you would have
if you'd bought from a regular dealer (including possibly the warranty).
The problems with Montgomery Grant where widely discussed in this group a 
while back.
