4377.0. "Montgomery Grant?" by GENRAL::NAUGHTON () Fri Dec 21 1990 21:22

    I am new to this conference, and do not yet own an Amiga. I am
    seriously considering buying a 2000 through Montgomery Grant mail
    order. First of all has anyone ever dealt with this mail order house?
    I understand CBM does not authorize mail order so how is it that M.
    Grant has these machines in stock and ready to ship? Basically is it
    worth the $250. savings buying a Amiga this way?
    
    Thanks Bill

    Before ordering it may be worth your while to look at several entries
    written in the past few months about this outfit. Most are negative
    although I have never ordered from them.

    Thanks John, I did a dir/title on mail order and found the notes you
    spoke of. These notes files are great, probably saved me from a grave
    mistake. I did some checking here in town and found a dealer willing to
    work with the price of a 2000 to the tune of $225. off his $1495.
    price. I can live with $1270. even with sales tax, I feel it's a decent
    deal. Thanks for reminding me of what I should of thought of from the
    begining.

    re.3
    The 1084s runs about $325. I am going to purchase a NEC 3D from a place
    in Denver for $597. with shipping and state tax it's $632. I realize I
    could probably do better with some out of state mail order house, but
    not much from what I have seen in the computer mag adds. I will gladly
    pay the extra $30. for the peace of mind of dealing with a store I know
    and can trust.
    
    Bill  BTW I have not purchased anything yet!
4377.5I did it!GENRAL::NAUGHTONWed Jan 09 1991 22:246
    I purchased the 2000 and the NEC monitor last weekend,and have already
    ordered a second floppy drive along with the PHASAR software package.
    The only problem encountered so far was connecting the monitor to the
    Amiga. This was quickly resolved with an adapter plug made by C.B.M.
