What inspired that comment?!?!

In order to reduce our expenses in liquidating these PowerBooks, we will not accept PayPal, or Credit Card Payment on this item.You may pay us via Cashiers Check, Money Order, Wire Transfer, or even show up on our doorstep with cash in hand, basically any form of payment that we do not incur a fee to process

Credit cards and to a lesser extent PayPal offer some sort of protection for the buyer. If you refuse them, you're making yourself look quite shady (whether or not you are i can't say)... Also the fact that your recent items don't list any computers, rather a bunch of peter rabbit items...

i'm not saying you're a scam artist. Only that i would not buy from you under the current circumstances.

Do you at least accept escrow?

edit: in your defense, apple does list you as an authorized reseller. just understand that this type of thing, especially involving powerbooks for some reason, is a very common scam--

[AlliedComputing]

We will accept escrow if the buyer pays the fees. We also would accept a credit card if you want to add the 3% fee that the CC company charges.

You can also check with Apple to verify that we are an Authorized Reseller.

Go to: http://applefn.infonow.net/bin/findNow?CLIENT_ID=APPLE_WTB_USA and type in Kalispell, MT 59901 for your location, you'll see Allied Computing listed there.

If you have any other questions, let me know.

What is Apple's current MAP on these?

Check out the other auctions for 17 powerbooks. Why would you think that people will pay more when others have the same deal for less?? Sellers need to do their homework just as much as buyers...

My point exactly. I know of many scams such as this, and I had no way of knowing if this was true, so i acted on my first impression, which in retrospect was wrong. I apoligize, but be aware that these scams are VERY common.
