Judy, Bill,

Vendio is an outfit that sells "storefronts" anyone can buy one and set up
their own ecom site,
I would be very leary of one that offered prices significantly lower than
the major on-line retailers,
especially for newer Apple products. If it were for re-built refurbished
items cleary marked that
way then maybe I'd consider it. Apple tightly controls the margins on their
products so that it is
almost impossible for other places to sell their products at a discount.
About all they can do is put
"packages" together that add value to the basic machine.
