    Hi,

    I'm new to this thread and I came across Black Hawk Toughbooks thread that was closed last 2012. I have no intention to bring back the heated discussion but would like to ask if this website:

    ###########

    and the one that was banned share common identity? The site carries Black Hawk USA Toughbook Sales.name.

    I like to buy one but was held back by the reply of their customer service name Mr. Brendan Patrick.

    If your looking for a CF-30, we sell CF-30 Toughbooks. MK1 and MK2 machines. If you need an MK2 we can get the machine. We are particular about our Toughbooks also. However, we have never ripped off or burned anyone. Reason for this is the customers we deal with can drive up to our door, kick it open and seize our entire inventory. They could snatch us on the streets and interrogate us without any recourse We sell to folks who take life for a living.

    All I did was to ask some clarifications of the free international shipping they offer,and how the condition of the Toughbook will be when it reaches to me. Why all of the sudden he replied me about "never ripped off..."? I got more confused of the post:

    Sale Price as of Aug 2013. $799.00. Non Touch CF-30's run $75.00 or $625.00. For the non-Touch machine, purchase the machine using the BUY NOW Button and we will refund back to your Credit Card $75.00. Indicate NON-TOUCH in an eMail to us, at [email protected] with ORDER Number and or Name. Your $75.00 refund appears immediately back to your Credit Card. Sale ends Sept 2013. The Sale machine includes EVERYTHING. Listed

    CF-30 Sales - Panasonic Toughbook Sales

    $799.00 - $75.00 = $724.00 right?

    I was able to read the closed forum and got more doubts.

    Any idea from members here or have they ever bought a Toughbook from Black Hawk USA Toughbook Sales?

    The site changes often, but yes, that seems to be the one. I have never actually held one of Bob's Toughbooks but this I know. Government agencies who can "rip" your face off or whatever do not buy used computers. Anyway let's not go there. Post your needs here and I can absolutely guarantee that one of our members will fix you up with a better computer for less money. You probably won't find any who will glue a piece of rubber door mat to the computer for you but you don't really need it. Or you can do it yourself. You have perhaps heard of "putting lipstick on a pig"? Welcome to the forum.

    That web site is just wrong in so many ways.

    Welcome to the Panasonic Toughbook Forum

    Peter, most of his posts have been removed from the forum because for one reason he was spamming the forum and the other you can guess why so the super mods banned him. If you need any help picking out a Toughbook just start a new thread and let us know what your needs are and we can give you our 2 cents worth :D .

    Cap , very well said
