July 2001 iMac Buyer's Guide


Merchant Tracker

1-22-03 - This page is updated every Wednesday

Show me the prices already!

Flat panel iMacs are in short supply this week. Both MacMall & ClubMac are out of all their bundles and only have the base machine in stock. And only a very few of those. Even Apple lists the high-end G4 iMac with the 17 inch screen as a 3-5 day wait.

Everyone, except MacZone, has the CRT 600 MHz G3 iMac in stock. Apple says that this Classic iMac is still selling well, probably due to its low price

Both MacMall and MacZone are offering free shipping up to $40 on orders over $50. The catch is that to get the discount your have to send in a mail-in rebate. We think that stinks, but the merchants know that though rebates sound good to the consumer many customers will never get around to sending in the rebate material.

Until next week .... happy shopping!
