[CLUG] Irish E-commerce sites...

[Ken Walsh]

I use PCSource all the time (I'm an IT Manager, so I buy LOTS)...
I never take anyones first price, especially not prices on the web.

These guys (all suppliers) set themselves up, so the prices start high,
you then ring them and argue over the price and it comes back down to
normal prices. 

Just so you know, it applies to alot of companies!!! You can argue with
Banks, Eircom, Esat, Dell, Gateway, ALL of the Software suppliers etc....

Travel Agents are great ones to argue with :)

And its not just small money, I bought an item which started at 1,000,000
and ended up paying a little over 600,000 for it.... 

Its the way of the big bad world...
