I must agree. The prices are way too high. The same applies for another
Linux-Thinkpad-Education offer in Germany, "nofost.de".

Those "rebate" prices are easily beaten by regular shops like Helex
(business-laptops.de - they are nice AND they negotiate!),
notebooksandmore.net (4% off all prices for education) or even
notebooksbilliger.de.

Lastly, I don't like the thought that eBay could get lots-a-bucks,
especially not from students who could have saved another few dozen of
their precious Euros otherwise! IMHO that aint the method to realize
minimum offers!

Sorry for tainting, but I sort of dislike this way of self-promotion.
