Yes, what were you wondering? They sell 2nd-rate or old
merchandise... sometimes good deals IF you need what they have. They
are not a full-featured vendor so don't expect tech support (and IMHO,
any support they might give is subject to scrutiny (long story)).

I have never heard of them. Obviously they are selling surplus computer
parts. You might look for them on some reseller ratings or something like
that. Since the motherboards look like older retail box items, a warranty
and a return policy may need to be checked out. What if a part does not
work? Can you return it?

They have a fairly good rating on www.resellerratings.com

Hmm. A poster with an address at tigersurplus.com asks if anyone has bought
from tigersurplus.com, (obviously to confuse with tigerdirect) a website
that ends up on a bare IP leased from rackspace.com and not registered to
the original domain, and I should even think about giving them my credit
card information?

Looks like someone is fishing for suckers.
