I did sign up for the free CPQ, but this doesn't sound like a deal to me: (hard to recruit net shoppers <G>) biz.yahoo.com Company offers free iMacs -- for a price NEW YORK, Feb 10 (Reuters) - A start-up company Wednesday offered 25,000 free iMac computers in exchange for one little thing. Money. Two days after another company offered 10,000 free personal computers to Internet users willing to watch advertisements, One Stop Communication said it would give away 25,000 iMacs to people promising to spend at least $100 a month for 36 months at its online mall, company Chief Executive Officer Israel Rosenfeld said in a telephone interview. Users must also use One Stop Communication as their Internet service provider, at $19.95 a month. That charge is waived in any month that a user spends more than $200 at the mall run by the company at its Shopss.com Web site (1). By Wednesday afternoon, 2,500 people had signed up for the free iMacs in the two hours after the offer was announced, Rosenfeld said. Those shoppers can expect the new iMacs at their homes in 30 days, he said. Customers must provide One Stop with their credit card number or enough personal information to prove their credit-worthiness. Each month, a shopper must spend at least $25 each in four different shops in the mall, which will eventually feature a few hundred shops, Rosenfeld said. If a shopper does not shop, his or her account is charged $100. "If you don't buy, you're still being charged," Rosenfeld said. The commitment represents a $3,600 outlay for a computer Rosenfeld said was valued at $999. However, Trudy Self of One Stop's investor relations company said the extra charges do not equate to a charge for the iMac. By signing up, customers gain access to discount shopping at the company's site, she said. Customers can sign up for the offer by e-mailing oscm_oscr(at)yahoo.com or find the company's site at 1. The shopping mall now offers goods ranging from books and flowers to antiques and computers. One Stop Communication, which is based in New York and Tel Aviv, Israel, is a subsidiary of One Stop Car of Florida Inc. On Monday, Free-PC Inc. offered 10,000 free Compaq personal computers to people willing to watch ads. The Pasadena, Calif., company said its Web site (1) received 1.2 million visits on the morning it announced its offer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related News Categories: US Market News
