[Evadman]

Wow those prices have to be errors or something. no way you can get a lappy for $150.

 

[manko]

I tried to order (from BarPoint), but it wouldn't put anything in my cart. Oh well...

 

[ROLLTIDE2002]

I can't add stuff to my cart with barpoint ? any one else ?

 

[Danman]

Why can't you add it to your cart?

OOS in St. Louis too, but got the page for AMEX purposes....

 

[hahahehe]

The maximum for Blue PM is 250 per PM, how will do that then?
The difference is over 1000

 

[ghankerson]

It showed in stock for me, but when I added it to my cart it said zero items added to card and then it was out of stock. Dang!

 

[ROLLTIDE2002]

Its in stock now the $809 one .

I figure this is the actuall cost to OD?

Anybody know the specs? I check Compaq.com and it starts at $1699? But that is for 128 ram, 20 gb hd, and no dvd.

weird site...Barpoint...they really offer no products ...

<< The Mobile Merchant Marketplace (M³) creates a "store-within-a-store" for participating merchants such as The Sharper Image and Office Depot within the BarPoint service. The Mobile Merchant Marketplace allows customers to browse through branded "stores," using mobile phones, PDAs and interactive pagers, and to search for products by using UPCs (barcode numbers), SKUs and catalog numbers. Products can then be purchased wirelessly directly from the selected merchants using BarPoint's mobile wallet, or products can be saved to users' personalized gift and wish lists through My BarPoint services.
Who am I buying these items from?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BarPont.com allows you to purchase products from a variety of merchants. When you order items through BarPoint.com, you are buying items directly from the merchants who are selling them, not from BarPoint.com.

The items that you place in your shopping cart are sent to the individual merchant and, when you check out, the order is placed with that merchant.

Immediately after placing an order through BarPoint's shopping cart, you should receive an email confirmation from BarPoint.com, letting you know we have sent your order to the merchant.

Within 24 hours of checkout, each merchant you ordered from should send you an email confirmation that will include contact information for any order inquiries and well as any sales tax and shipping costs added to your order.

Unfortunately I don't think we can PM with Staples without knowing the exact configuration for the $659 ro $809 prices. Staples policy specifically states that the item must match exactly (each component identical), and we can't verify that.

However, if we could, Staples could not argue that it was out of stock because it comes from Compaq direct, and thus is never out of stock.

I think I'm in luck...
Will update shortly.

littlezipp: got a PM to go through? *rubs his hands in anticipation*

 

[littlezipp]

You will not find them in stock anywhere... They are order only items.
I called one of the local O.D. stores, and he said that they would honor the price.
He wants me to come in tomorrow morning to make the purchase.

 

[ROLLTIDE2002]

So LittleZip there going to place an order for you ? Where will they get it from ? There is no stock in the warehouse . Good Luck

 

[littlezipp]

They will order it from Compaq as far as I know.

 

[littlezipp]

Question...
Can I go to a store and get a quote from them, then take it next door to Staples?

 

[ROLLTIDE2002]

I'm Happy for you !!! At least someone will get one of these
