Q: What is the difference between used and refurbished?

A: All of our used items are refurbished even if the description says used. Each item is cleaned and tested and any worn or damaged parts are replaced. Because we are a small company we pay attention to detail. All refurbished hardware are checked and rechecked to insure quality. We have a liberal warranty on the items and want you satisfied with your purchase.


Q: What if I buy something and it doesn't work with my system?

A: Simply call for an RMA number and ship the product back. (See the return section below). If the item tests good and was simply returned you pay the shipping. Many companies charge a restocking fee. We normally do not. We work hard to make sure the items are graphically represented and give you enough information so that you get the right item the first time and that it works as advertised. If you are not sure call and ask before ordering.


Q: How long have you been in business?

A: Operator Headgap BBS started back in 1986 over 33 years ago. When we relocated to Memphis from Oklahoma City we found a lack of BBS and support for computer users. We began selling software and used hardware via the web over 8 years ago and it has continued to grow. We are a small company and it is just Cheryn and me recently. We have used Macs since their inception both professionally and as hobbyists and do local repair and consulting.


Q: Some items your pricing is terrific and on some you are a little high? Freight is included in our prices is the short answer but read on:

A: We price our items very aggressively and most items will have the best price anywhere when you compare apples to apples. You may find some of our items are a little higher than our competition but check for the added value we provide. Many of our systems feature new system components with full factory warranties. Most desktop systems have been substantially upgraded and include new pram batteries and other upgraded components. Remember that we include freight with the pricing on most items so you know what you are paying up front. A deal is not a deal if you end up getting stuck on the freight and surcharges. Unlike some dealers the rebates we sometimes offer are real and you actually get your money. Also remember that we include the software required for many of the items on the Kitchen Sink CD that may be included with some items, while others make you look up an odd URL and spend time downloading a file that may or may not unarchive and work. The Kitchen Sink includes many updates, shareware and freeware programs that you would have to spend hours downloading. We also quickly answer email and phone inquiries. Also don't forget our tech support line at 901-591-1548. We answer questions even if you didn't buy merchansise from us and all you pay for is the call.

You MUST Call for an RMA number within the 30 day warranty period and let us know what the problem is. It is best to have your order number when you call. After you receive an RMA number you may ship the product back. Make sure you list the RMA number on the outside of the package and you include inside an order ID and contact information (ideally a copy of the invoice). The return address is on your invoice or listed in the contact information. Make sure you ship it back insured and with the original packing etc. If the item was defective we even refund the return shipping. If the item tests good and was simply returned, you pay the shipping back. Many companies automatically charge a restocking fee. We normally do not. We work hard to make sure the items are graphically represented and give you enough information so that you get the right item the first time and that it works as advertised. If you are not sure call and ask before ordering. Remember software is NOT RETURNABLE after it has been opened. Computer Systems under our 90 warranty are repair or replace only according to our warranty terms. Items returned improperly will result in a 15% restocking fee plus original shipping costs.

ABOUT US

Operator Headgap BBS originally started on a Commodore 64 with 2 -1541 drives and a 300 baud modem using 6485 BBS Software over 33 years ago by Bob and Cheryn Nunn. Our BBS provide support for users within dialup range. Today it is of course web based and still provides support for users Internationally. Our download base these days is mostly Mac oriented but files are still available for Commodore and Amiga systems.

OPERATOR HEADGAP SYSTEMS, Inc. Memphis, TN

What makes us unique in the refurbished Mac business is that we are about the only ones who not only do quality refurbishing of used Mac equipment, we also upgrade the systems. Most of the systems we offer have more ram, larger hard drives, and more added to them. I know of no other Mac dealer who sells upgraded systems. They generally only sell the items how they received them. We also nicely configure these units, the way we would use them. I also know of no dealer who will install the upgrades they sell on your system. We have many of our customers who send in their system for tuneups or upgrades.

Beside our Mac refurbishing business we also provide web design & hosting service, marketing services, and consulting. We also sell software, hardware, and provide hardware service, repair and sales. We are the worldwide distributor for TeleFinder BBS/Web Server Software which is rather dated these days.

We started this due to demand we received from our business and personal associations. This is now full time for us now and we have other employees as well as numerous contract employees who perform services for us. In reality, we have been doing repairs and consultations for the last 19 years through our association with user group members and referrals. The past years has seen a more applied effort to market these services.

We got into the Mac battery business when we discovered that most domestic pram battery sources supplied overpriced batteries that were several years old. I suspect that many times they were not even new batteries but used ones from old systems. Many were the underpowered 850 mAh batteries. We located a source that manufacturers our batteries each time we order. We have the lowest price and the freshest 1200 mAh batteries in the business. Mac-Batteries.com

While not actively being sold since the software is designed to run under OS9 and earlier, we are still the U.S. distributor and support system for the TeleFinder. When you visit Headgap.com and associated page you are on a TeleFinder Server. I have written and distributed software used with this program suite and served as a beta tester since version 5.0.
