Be careful!
Saw a posting on a consumer website from an employee of Ultimate and he said that many laptops were returns, demo's and problematic repair attempts. He stated that they put all prices at FULL LIST price and THEN reducing em by 30%. Yeah, he is losing his job, but I still would be leery of spending money on something that has a NO RETURN policy for one and uncertain warranty coverage due to condition. Just my 2 cents. Caveat Emptor!

JP, now that you mention it... I remeber a similar company went out a business in my area some years ago...
They advertized everything as being "50 percent off!!" and everyone flocked in their stores.. just to find out that everything had been marked up to list then re-dropped.
What a bummer... why can't people be honest these days. Half the time their past retail price was infact below the newly adjusted amount they were trying to gain during the "sale"...
BS...

I went there to get a 3' HDMI cable once and the only ones they had were $29.95 each and then the doofus wanted to know what brand the TV was so the cable would be right. I never set foot in another Ultimate store.
I bought 10 of them from Mouser for $7 each and they are all gone now--the ones I didn't need I sold from $10 to 15$ each. Stores like Ultimate & Best buy are making a killing by bilking customers by jacking up prices on stuff like cables & TV mounts.

Best Buy is the worst when it comes to this!
EXACTLY! Circuit City pulled this scam when they "went out of business". Ultimate Electronics will probably go the same route, have this "sale" *dripping sarcasm*, and then switch to web only sales.
Mhm.. that's why I always become skeptical when it comes to these going-out-of-biz "sales"
