For example, the MXPS-32 is thirty bucks cheaper if you buy it out of the outlet rather than a new set. Thats a big chunk of change. I can't see the real reason to buy any of their new sets so far because the blemish issue seems so petty.
I heard once that you could buy "Refurbished" computers and monitors from the DELL website, and in these tough times my theory is that this is brand new stuff and has never been refurbished, but they sell it this way to at least sell some product, because most people can't pass up what they see as a great deal, and I'm sure Dell still makes a couple bucks on each computer or monitor sold this way.
Perhaps Southord is just trying to push product out the door when they stamp out too many sets or have a new model coming out and want to diminish their inventory, so they sell it for 10% markup instead of the usual 50%-150% markup and the wheels of commerce keep on turning.
just my opinion.
