No company can sell their wares at cost for long without going out of business. At hate these scams. I bet dollars for donuts that OnSale atCost will not have those particular items in stock when you go to order them; that's usually how they works these scams. Raven

"As an incentive to try atCost,...." Thanks for sharing. I am particularly interested in this strategy from ONSL. What surprises me is that they are the ones to offer this "free shipping". I would have thought that the other e-tailers like Eggs and Cool would do it as a pure defensive measure to try to keep their customers from flocking to ONSL where you can apparently purchase the computer product at the lowest price. So, then, why is ONSL doing this. [rhetorical question] Could it be that people are not flocking from the other e-tailers as much or as quickly as ONSL would have thought? Or is that ONSL really wants to post some blow-out revenue/new customer numbers to show the Street for this Q as well hurting their competition, which they would assert is evidence that their strategy is working... stay tuned, this story should only get better...
