Another amazing thing about Gigabuys is that there has been no advertising anywhere. When Amazon first when public, there were ads everywhere. I believe that there are no ads for Gigabuys because Dell does not need any. They are concentrating on selling to their 80%+ business customer that buys more products with less customer service issues. For example, what if Ford was to purchase all of the software upgrades with Dell. After they saturate this market they, will probably advertise. If you also remember, that ads were Amazon's largest expense. With IBM's PC business also in question and Compaq CEO calling the PC business dead, this also could be a big deal for Dell. Why would you buy a PC from a company that is loosing money or a company that says the it's core business is dead. Go Dell
