$279 Fully Configured Acer Aspire One Notebook – Real or Scam?
Technology October 21st, 2008
I know netbook prices are dropping, but not this fast! Just a day after hearing about a $309 deal here’s an ad for a higher-end Acer Aspire One, for $279, shipping included!
The lowest price for this configuration so far has been on Amazon, @ $399.
I am speechless… this looks too good to be true. I can’t find any info on the vendor (BeneficialTech.info), there is a contact email but no phone number – - but they have Google Checkout.
So I leave it to my dear readers to decide: do you think this is real or a scam?
