Typical

They can't design there own deals either, just steal those also.

Rubbish company bleeding money,

Good publicity for morecomputers.com !

Quite blatant plagiarism by ebuyer, but good publicity / free advertising for morecomputers.com. I didn't even have them bookmarked previously, with ebuyer being my first port of call for hardware purchases - I'll now be looking at morecomputers as well !

Yeah, but which one loads faster?!

At least the Ebuyer page loads 10 times faster than the one from morecomputers. Must be all the extra traffics from El Reg, I reckon ...

Another act

On a more design related note I'm not sure which came first, Ebuyer or Aria but the designs of their websites are very similar. Check them out:

Aria: aria.co.uk, Ebuyer: ebuyer.com

Laziness

Come on Ebuyer, you're not even trying.

£36 less? No

£36 pound less? Dont they mean around £12 less? Well according to the screenies anyway.

Referer-based redirect...

... to goatse. Problem solved!

Not surprised ...

Given that ebuyer recently canned (nearly) all of their development staff, I'm not surprised by this in the slightest. Smacks of desperation, if anything ...

Another site to buy hardware from

Thank you ebuyer for showing somewhere else that I can save money from.

and I was thinking of buying a new printer soon.. hmmmm £36 cheaper right?? Wonder what else is cheaper...

MoreComputers.com back to normal

Just a quick note to say the MoreComputers.com site did slowdown yesterday due to all the hits from The Register, sorry about that. Glad to say everything was back to normal by the afternoon.

So what!!

It's not exactly a ripped off novel is it!! Who cares, if the description fits then I don't care where is comes from. And the mistake gave a link to mores website. I use both suppliers and find them both excellent. Must agree with other comment ... more speed up your site please.
