WHT has given many so many great sites where I can get deals/offers, so I decided to give back. I've bought quite a few things from http://www.ubid.com including a 500 mhz 64 mb ram computer for my mother for her basic word processing, email ect. I bought it 2 summers ago, and its really a great machine for her needs, and I only spent $299! This was back when 900 mhz was the top speed in proccessors. I've decided to get another computer, and the deals on ubid are amazing (I would make sure to get warranties though). I just looked, and a NEW
AM-Comps Athlon 1.3GHz 512MB RAM 40GB HD CDRW
64MB Video/56K/NIC/No OS
is going for 369 bucks! They also sell servers, printers, laptops, pretty much everything(I wish they were less expensive!) ect.
Go check it out.

I, however, had a bad experience which I will post here to inform folks about the other side of uBid. I was high bidder on a laptop, and the one they sent was not the model I'd bid on but an older, slower model with a smaller screen, worth maybe $200-$300 less. I had to threaten to report them to the BBB, AG, and FTC before they answered my e-mails about the issue. Then, all they did was offer me a $75 discount on my *next* purchase if I kept the laptop they'd sent. I said "no way," and returned the laptop at their expense, and that was the last time I'll ever deal with them.
