    We wanted to make our customers aware of a terrific opportunity to upgrade your NP5690 units. If you have a 5690 with a 2.8GHZ or faster CPU and at least 1GB of memory we have a customer who is interested in buying your unit for $1,000. The requirements are as follows:

    1.The unit must be a NP5690 with at least a 2.8 GHZ processor and 1GB of memory.

    2.The unit must be in working condition. Normal wear and tear is fine, but the screen must be scratch free.

    3.The customer may keep the hard drive from the unit, but must leave the hard disk bracket in the system.

    This offer will only be open to the first forty qualifying customers. If you are interested please contact Art at 800-989-9900 ext. 701

    This is a great opportunity to save big on an upgrade to a new unit. So, don’t miss out on this unique opportunity

    I would recommend you talk to the Administrators of this forum to get Reseller status, instead of your current Newbie status. That way those who browse this forum will know that your offer is legit.

    i would recommend doing as suggested, it would be the best way for people to know you are legit, and not a scammer.

    Well, I was being a little generous, considering this is their thread (we think).

    No, it's not horrible, it's just not up to the standards that we expect from small resellers. It's right on par with many large companies. (Though to get that score with only 6 review is pretty bad.)

    with six reviews, it isnt exactly screaming that its a large company. so if it is a small company, id say its horrible.

    and of those six reviews, only one is from this year. everything else is from 2000-2004.

    yes... this conversation came and past. :)

    the name was too long, so they seem to have made that compromise.

    I have already contacted the NBR via the Contact US link, requesting that they help verify this account is indeed an official Sager account.

    We decided to creat a new account as the name for the first account was too long.

    The buyback request is from one of our accounts “Micro Express” who deals in both retail and special interest, in this case one of their accounts is requesting NP5690 that has been phased out few years ago.

    We do monitor the forums closely, and take all suggestions into high priority considerations. As well as any complains or issues that needs to be addressed, it will all be reviewed and forwarded to our resellers to get the words around. And the issues taken care of.


    Thanks,

    I second that. I always like seeing sellers/resellers post in the forums.

    aside from that, it looks like i was right in my second post. :p
