Concerning CDW. I'd like to give the other side of the coin. I live near to CDW and have visited them a number of times in the past few years. two years ago, I saw they had a BJ-200 for $179. I called to confirm the price and the rep told me absolutely. They had gotten a great price from Canon and were passing teh savings on to their customers. Anyway, I was so excited I drove right over, grabbed a sales rep, and told him I wanted to buy one. He was nice and said "sure." He rang it up, and asked for my Visa. "the total is $389.47". I told him there must be a mistake. I only wanted ONE. He said that was the price on teh BJ200. I was so frazzled, I didn't know what to say. I told him teh phone rep had quoted me a MUCH lower price. I couldn't remember exactly how much it was, but I was sure it was under $200. He looked shocked, and said that was impossible. IT HAD NEVER BEEN SOLD FOR A PRICE EVEN NEAR THAT. "but because I see you may have gotten conflicting info, I'll see what I can do" He sold me teh printer for $210+tax. On the way out, still somewhat confused I spied a brochure, and RIGHT ON THE COVER was teh BJ200 for $179! I went back to the rep, and he said,"uh, I don't know. We don't have anymore of those. uh, what's the matter? Look, I figure you'd be greatful for my giving you such a low price." First of all it was obvious he'd lied to me completely about the price, and that it had never been sold for that price. As a naive teenager, I shyly left, still terribly confused. A week later, my friend went there, with the ad in hand, and bought another BJ200 from the same rep, and got it for $179! I went and complained to the store, and was totally ignored. CDW has not been a cheery experience for me. When the woman posted about the 755s, my admittedly uninformed first guess, was that they may have gotten them shadily. I have no way of supporting such an impression, so I won't stand by it. Also everytime I call, the phone rep gives me a guilt-trip for not immediatly buying whatever product's price I ask for. I have been very dissatisfied with CDW. I just wanted to give the other side. see ya. --Conrad -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- conrada-b@nwu.edu "You know, my father only gave me one piece of advice.
