To the Alt F4 "Sales Rep":
Oh boy. I dislike pointless confrontations, but when you say that my site
offers "garbage", well, I'll give you a brief mathematics lesson...since you
seem to be begging for it.
Today's (05/30/2004) USD to CAD currency conversion is $1 US = $1.363
Canadian, or $1 Canadian = $0.73368 US. Using these conversion figures, I
took the first few sample Pentium 4 800MHz Retail Boxed Processors for sale
at Alt F4 Computing, since you made a point of having the best price on
them. I compared your prices to the best-known online reseller, Newegg, and
I also picked the very first online reseller located in your city, Toronto,
I could find (Altec Micro) and compared their prices as well, since you
claim to have "unbeatable" prices in your city :
Pentium 4 2.60GHz HT 512KB 800 MHz Retail
Alt F4 Price: $318.50 CAD / $233.68 USD
Newegg Price: $246.70 CAD / $181.00 USD
http://www.altecmicro.com price: $250.00 CAD / $183.42 USD
Pentium 4 2.80GHz HT 512KB 800 MHz Retail

Now, I'm not here to jeopardize the right for you to make a living selling
computers and components online; you have the same right as anyone else to
do so, provided you have proper licensing, other paperwork and carry through
with any legal business transactions. I do, however, find dishonest claims
and extremely inflated prices offensive, but I have the right to choose not
to conduct business with you, as do other potential customers. Customer
loyalty and the building of a successful business require ethical business
practices, which I hope you will take into consideration before posting
additional unsolicited Usenet advertisements. Good luck to you in your
present and future endeavors.
Respectfully,
Russell Sullivan, Owner
