Hardware Bargains

[Mark A]

So this guy runs his business from home?
Anyone ever used the site before?

I've used the site before, mainly because we designed and developed it.

Richard, the owner, runs the business from home but is a MTN reseller as well as a reseller for the various electronics suppliers (Pinnacle etc.) and ran the business for a number of years before going online.

I recently bought a home theatre system from him with no real issues. My only word of advice would be to just give him a call and check availability of items if you are ordering any home entertainment equipment. The phones come direct from MTN so you can expect delivery from them as if you were ordering directly through MTN.

He's legit. I only have a few posts so my word is probably not golden, but take it from me - he's paid and is paying a lot of money for that site to break into the e-commerce market and works extremely hard at constantly improving his offerings. Considering the site took almost 2 months to build, it's very difficult to see how it could be a fly-by-night operation.

Those are some seriously good deals if you're in the market for a new phone.

I think the best you'll do for that price is the Lenovo B570 (Intel B950 processor) for R3499 from makro valid in store till 08 August 2012

OCZ Agility 3 2.5" Solid State Drive (120GB)(SATA III) - R1149.00
OCZ Vertex 3 2.5" Solid State Drive (120GB)(SATA III) - R1249.00

OCZ Agility 3 2.5" Solid State Drive (120GB)(SATA III) - R1149.00
OCZ Vertex 3 2.5" Solid State Drive (120GB)(SATA III) - R1249.00

Those aren't bargains.

Here are better prices from a trusted store:
OCZ Agility 3 120GB @ R1,032
OCZ Vertex 3 120GB @ R1,151

But I'd recommend the newer ones for longevity:
OCZ Agility 4 128GB @ R1,170
OCZ Vertex 4 128GB @ R1,267

What makes that Freecom USB stick so special that it would normally retail +R300.00?
The 2 year warranty?

Or am I missing something?
Doesn't say that it's USB 3 right?

[TirNaNog]

Doesn't say that it's USB 3 right?

It's typical masstores hype lol. It says USB 2 on the packaging.
It would normally retail for R300+ more than a year ago lol.

Makro has a 2TB external hard drive with USB3 support for R999. But they have really limited stock.
