> REASONS FOR THE LOW PRICE, UNIT AND COMPANY HISTORY
> __________________________________________________ _____________________
> __
>
> All products are legitimate. Items were originally purchased
> through US authorized reselling party. Such low prices were met only
> for truly great volume order of 200-500 pieces of G5's, G4's and
> other laptop bundles,TV displays,LCD's and digital products.
>
> They were purchased by the CybernINC which is one of our current
> subsidies and were all ranged for the whole Ukrainian market range.
> After almost all of the stocks have been spread over the stores,
> there was little stock of bundles left which were being hold
> especially for this sale,as a CyberNIC and Apple Group Connection
> are doing their best , to promote our new, fast growthing company,
> called Apple Company.US .
>
> The products we have for sale now, have not passed Ukrainian customs
> charges, so they could not be sold within borders of our country.
> That is the main reason for low prices you see, we just have to
> sell them back from the country with almost same prices as
> purchased,not making any profit.
>
>
> Why deal with us :
>
> We are an authorized Dealer!
>
> We are not a new or one time seller.
>
> We sell many big ticket items including monitors,
> plasma displays, digital cameras,laptops etc.
> and we consistently receive positive feedback.
>
> We ship direct to your door from the distributor.
>
> We insure everything we ship.
>
> All of our units are covered by manufacturers full warranty.
>
> And at least, if you would still like to check our company for
> legitimacy,
> you may always ask as for a positive feedback and some references from
> your area.
