BuyComp, LLC, a new Internet computer superstore, Monday announced it is expected to open its Web site for business November 17 -- Comdex week -- to compete with computer retail stores and mail order catalogs nationwide.

Just in time for Christmas shopping, BuyComp has teamed up with the largest computer distributor Ingram Micro to provide users with detailed product information and comparisons, online order processing, as well as instant pricing and availability for over 20,000 personal computer products.

BuyComp's unique Internet Retail Network (IRN) service is designed to quickly link potential buyers to dedicated purchasing sites in specific product categories. The IRN service will give users a fast and easy way to make buying decisions and purchase computer products instantly at guaranteed low prices. BuyComp also plans to focus its efforts on customer service, on-line support, and hassle-free returns.

BuyComp has incorporated a complete product network that includes top manufacturers in several different computer categories such as buycomputers.com, buynotebooks.com, buystorage.com, buyram.com, buyprinters.com, buymonitors.com, buymodems.com, buyscanners.com, buynetworks.com, buyperipherals.com, and buymedia.com.

To compete in the marketplace, BuyComp plans to offer the lowest pricing in the industry due to its virtual operations, which includes outsourcing inventory, fulfillment, and delivery, as well as reduced employee overhead. BuyComp expects its gross profit margins to be lower than most operational expenses of mail order, retail or computer superstores.

"We want to be the Amazon.com of the computer industry (Amazon dominates book resellers on the internet)," said Scott Blum. "It is our goal to create the largest Internet-based computer company and provide our customers with the best products from the industry's top manufacturers, with the lowest prices and superior customer service."

In addition to electronic shopping and purchasing, this vertical integration is designed to include a custom software program for seamless operations between the company's NT-based operating system, merchant server application, SQL database and accounting software. The company plans to accept cash-based transactions with VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and the Japanese JBL card, as well as corporate accounts on term.

"BuyComp plans to ride a long wave of opportunity for people using the Internet who want to save time and money, providing better communications and customer service," said Blum. "You'll never have to wait on hold to speak to a sales person or drive to your local computer store. We are open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Now users will have the ability to purchase product in just minutes and have the computer products they need delivered to their home or office."
