I ordered a computer from them that was supposed to be $22.10. They placed an initial charge on my credit-card for that amount (plus the shipping and handling.) I then checked their website for the order status and they had the price as being $40.30+s/h (almost double the price for the computer.) When I called them about it, their response was "Mistakes happen and we have a disclaimer about that on the website." (And they do have "Our goal is perfection, however occasionally mistakes do occur. Therefore, errors in configuration or pricing will not be honored. Final pricing will be at the full and total discretion of RetroBox.com." on the site but in small, faint type.) If "mistakes" happen so much that they need a disclaimer, then they have too many mistakes. Any reputable company would eat the occasional mistake in pricing. Beware of placing an order with them.
