I keep seeing it, and avoid it.

 

[Brad Smith]

Why is it no good? Or avoiding buying it ?

So many bad things happened with group on to the point it was on watch dog at one point

Thanks for the links.

They sound really dodgey. I wouldn't buy anything from them.

I;ve bought quite a few things via groupon.. not one bad word to say tbh..

I have no clue about macs though hth

I think they are good for food and service offers like hotels but I wouldnt want to buy a high value item.

You probably won't lose money but it could be a load of hassle if it goes wrong.
