Anyone here used merkamericaco.com/their eBay store?

    Hey there,

    i've been keeping an eye out for an m6700 for a decent price.
    i live in Australia and to get one here with the specs i want (limited specs, no XM CPU's) it'll still cost around $6000 - 7000.

    i stumbled upon <url>www.merkamericaco.com</url> which apparently sell Dell laptops for cheap.
    The also operate with an eBay store under the same name.

    I have no clue as to how trustworthy their eBay store/website is?

    Just wondering if anyone here has dealt with them for their laptops and could give me a review of the condition/procedure of shipping and what not.

    Thanks.

    I've also looked at some of their ebay items. Their prices are insane ($2500) for an M6400 that would have cost $2500 4 yrs ago. I wonder how they move any of their merchandise.

    At some point they list high prices to fill the inventory. Make it look like big operations with the risk of deterring customers with the "high price"

    The best for refurb is, refresh the outlet page every early morning, and always use the 20-25% off coupon. Still the best unless you are straight up buying a used laptop online.

    Yeah, that's pretty insane!

    They're still cheaper than from the Dell website, ~$2500.
    M6700:
    3920XM,
    32GB RAM,
    K5000,
    IPS,
    DVD R/W,
    500GB

    for $3400

    Yeah, been keeping an eye out on the Dell Outlet.

    Where is this mysterious 20-25% discount coupon you speak of?

    I'll keep hunting for a bit though.

    Thanks.
