- Well be careful with MacMall. As you know this is also Creative
- Computers, former Amiga dealer. They operate a large "clearance"
- center which also has a public walk-in in Lawndale, CA. I've been
- in there. Just about any Mac hardware they sell new,they also
- sell for lowball prices out of their clearance center, but those
- goods are all returns that have been repaired or re-conditioned.
- Before you buy anything whose price looks too good to be true, ask
- if it's coming out of their clearance center. You could be buying
- someone else's troubles.
