Propellerhead Reason 2.5
$295 no tax + FREE UPS 3-day shipping (US only) Best "legit" deal (meaning: authrorized dealer) http://www.warhogprod.com They will show $349, but you can "request" a lower price...and the lowest they'll go is $295. I just bought it, great experience, they replied to my emails quickly. Happy all around. -Fields This post has been edited by Fields: Thu 8 Jan 2004, 21:01 -------------------- G5, Dual 2.0GHz, 2GHz RAM, 250G HD

Not that I just stumbled out of the cabbage patch, but when yu say "request", well, could you elaborate?

If you had looked at the site, you would have seen the list price of $349, and if you want a lower price, they provide an email address where you can request a lower price (or show them a lower price for them to beat)
I've saved you the trouble and made it a nice little link: http://www.warhogprod.com/index.html?targe...html&lang=en-us so there it is, Reason 2.5 for $295 cheers Fields -------------------- G5, Dual 2.0GHz, 2GHz RAM, 250G HD

You're right, I hadn't looked at the sight first. Thanks.

Apple has restrictions on how much their authorized resellers can sell Macs for. That's why at many sites get extra RAM or a printer or something else for free when you buy a Mac, they can't drop the price $200 lower than Apple, so they give you $200 worth of free stuff along with it.
Check Macmall.com, Maczone.com, or Macwarehouse.com for examples of deals like that. The price on the Macs won't vary by more than a few dollars. The difference really comes down to tax and shipping. On a $2600 Mac, tax and shipping can be a big difference, if you have to pay them. Try Pricegrabber.com, they find prices from a bunch of sites, then add the shipping and tax into the prices to calculate who has the lowest total cost. |
