Those deals that are just “too good to be true” which usually means someone is selling a piece of junk with a big bow on it.

We try to have a good one every Friday for our readers…ya know, so you can get it for the weekend… ;)

Brown Friday: Deal of the week

brownfriday9

What gets my about some of these is how they are valued. I’m sure this is a great machine, I could even see asking for $50 after all it’s a working computer. Look at towards the end, an extra $25 for the monitor, keyboard, and mouse.  My money says that monitor is a 17″ CRT [...]
