I recently posted an article on my experiences with Abel Hardware Supply. Here's the next chapter: In the November issue of AmigaWorld, Go Amiga has an ad claiming (in big red letters): WE WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD I got tired of waiting for over 2 months for my Starboard from Abel which I was supposed to have in 2 days, so I called Go Amiga. Here is a paraphrased excerpt from my phone conversation: Me: Do you have the Starboard in stock? (I learned *something* from my exp. with Abel) GA: Yes we do, and we could have it to you in 2 days. (Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!) Me: Well, I see in your ad in AmigaWorld magazine that you guys will not be undersold, and Abel Hardware Supply is selling Starboard for $459.00 GA: Let's see if we can match that ... (pause for a few minutes) GA: The best we can do is $499.00 for the Starboard. Me: $499.00? But it says in your add that you will not be undersold! GA: Uh, well, uh, ... that must be an old issue of AmigaWorld. Me: No it's not, it's the November issue. GA: Uh, well, uh, sorry, but we can't match that price, Abel has some special deal (blah, blah, blah) Me: Yeah, but you guys SAY you WON'T BE UNDERSOLD. let me talk to manager, etc, etc. Well, of course, the manager wasn't in (is he ever??), so I ranged and raved for awhile, gotell, of course the manager wasn't in (is he ever??), so I ranted and raved for awhile, got nowhere, and finally gave up. Give me a break, this is ridiculous. Is there an honest vendor out there? I'd be willing to pay extra $$ at this point for an HONEST vendor that can REALLY deliver a product in ***2 DAYS*** --- sheesh!!! /*************************************************************************************/ * Still singing the 512K blues - I'm David, I just use Archies login... * /*************************************************************************************/
