NCIX.com Deal Details

Theis LCD monitors have “sold out”, but not really. Have have the monitors but at the (much higher) “regular” price. So this is some kind of scam pulled by these ncix people to get free publicity. Don’t fall for their lies.

This really got on my nerves, I was planing to buy a monitor and this is what I found on their useless website:

There are so many things wrong with their promotion I can’t even start to complain about it. The main thing is, they should point out how many units they are selling. 1 single monitor on sale, or is it 2 individual monitors, perhaps 3? It says the promotion is to run until the 20th, how come they run out on the 16th almost the same day as it started, it started on the 15th!? Is this a joke? And their “regular” price is 260$, when all other places have the same monitor for 219$? Obviously I will steer clear of their loser cruiser “promotions”.
