    rjtech quoted me 599$ on barebones without graphics card.

    Might want to check out the HP 8740w on Ebay if you just want an MXM 3.0 B barebones. They accepted an offer of under 600$ with shipping included, without the GPU, I think they'd do lower without other parts even tho they are basically barebones already.

    I don't think it was Sager who was mad. I think it was Clevo. And he couldn't get them any cheaper. In any case it looks like you legally need some kind of a contract to sell under the Clevo or Sager name.

    I don't see why he couldn't convince them they were used spares that he had or something like that. Difficult situation.

    I think 599$ is pretty good then, though you have to buy the heatsink separately.

    This is what resellers do, not refer you to Clevo in china. I don't think you'll be able to do better.

    Why don't you contact babyhemi here?

    Barebones should be easy to obtain from him.
