- This is very interesting.
-
- Today I tried to buy a drive from them that is listed at $379 in the
- Treasure Chest Peripherals ad on p. 474 of December Computer Shopper.
-
- They said it is now $450, and that they can't ship for "days."
-
- I'm *NOT* going to buy anything from Treasure Chest. If more people report
- similar price switching, perhaps a note to CS would be in order.
