# Buyer Beware

It has come to our attention that a North American QL group, or individuals from within the group, are offering the public a “DEAL” on a group hardware buy. From what we’ve been able to learn, it’s no deal, and as a matter of fact the price quoted was $30.00 higher (at current exchange rates), than the regularly advertised retail price. Furthermore, nothing was mentioned about the liberal trade-in allowances that are available from the vendor.
