A = I have purchased from them and they performed as promised
B = The vendor has been established on the Net for a while I have noted primarily good comments concerning them.
C = Recommended by a vendor's customers.
D = Vendor has requested addition to list. I have no other references at this time.

The vendors listed are either vendors of some duration in the forsale newsgroups or they are vendors who have made requests (or had customers make recommendations) for inclusion in the list. I have made inquiry in the forsale news groups and on this page regarding these vendors, and I have received positive responses. If you as a customer experience undue difficulty with anyone listed, I would like to be informed. Singular complaints will not necessarily result in the removal of a vendor from the list. Repeated complaints (and I imagine I'll treat issues on a case-by-case basis) will result in vendors being removed. All this list verifies is that the vendor has been doing good honest business in the forsale newsgroups (my primary focus) or on the Internet, has come to my attention, and that I have taken the time to check that they do indeed exist and that they are probably safe to do business with. No assurances or guarantees offered or intended. Businesses on the "New Vendors" list will remain there until I receive positive comment regarding them.

I generally only include vendors who have attractive prices, or services. Vendors who spend time in the forsale and PC hardware groups explaining PC issues to NetPeople are also welcome. Any vendor selling on the Internet can ask to be included. If you are a vendor who wishes to be included on the list please include the name of your business, your mailing address, your Web page and email addresses, phone and FAX numbers, and a brief description of why I should include your business. I will then post inquiries in the news groups asking about you, shortly thereafter include you on my "New Vendors" list, and if I receive good responses regarding your business, I will move you to the permanent list.

I will not list your products, or take any payment for this service. I will try not to favor any one vendor over another. I am considering the issues of referencing vendors who have exceptionally good prices.
