The other day, I was checking out advertisements for computer printers.  On
Page 59 of the last issue of the magazine "Ottawa Computers!" I found an
advertisement from Ottawa Computer Sales and Services(e-mail address,
ocss@istar.ca) for these printers:

HP 820CXI,            C$559
HP 5L,              C$599
Lexmark 2030,       C$319
Lexmark 2070,       C$499.

Twenty pages later, another outfit advertised the same printers for C$30 to
C$55 less, depending on the model:

HP 820CXI,     C$530
HP 5L,         C$555
Lexmark 2030,  C$265
Lexmark 2070,  C$450.

Can someone post a response to explain to me why anyone would buy from
Ottawa Computer Services and shell out an extra C$30 to C$55 for the same
product?  Am I missing something that is obvious to others?  And by the way,
does anyone have first-hand experience dealing with this store?
