[plug] Where to buy computer bits in Perth

[Scott Middleton]

We pay certain percentage for every CC transaction here & transaction
charges & Telstra call charges & monthly eftpos fees and other fees i
don't know about. So if you pay cash it costs the company less to sell
you the product. Makes going to the ATM a good idea.

    Austin have in their ads, that the use of plastic to pay (including 
    EFTPOS "may incur a surcharge". They appear to not want customers, or, 
    only cash customers. Reminds me of a computer shop convicted of evading 
    sales tax on computers (handy way of lowering prices - don't pay tax). 
    Their advertised surcharge for plastic, has been advertised for months 
    (not just due to the recent move by the banks to increase the EFTPOS 
    charge to retailers). We've not dealt with Austin Computers - surcharges 
    on all plastic, sounds dubious.
