Products and prices seem to be pulled from Amazon.

It's a very odd selection. Can anyone find a pattern to it?

Take the first item on the PC page: https://coinstand.com/#/search/c/PCHardware

Apple MB323LL/A iMac 20-inch 2.4GHz 2GB Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB ram. $740
That model number is from early 2008:

It's a five year old computer. Maybe it's new in the box, but it's hardly the sort of thing you'd choose to emphasize.

The only place I can find Amazon selling that model (new) is
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB323LL-20-inch-2-4GHz-Aluminum/dp/B0019N889M
Only one third-party retailer is selling this through Apple, in new condition, and it's this one.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0019N889M/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

The price ($740) matches this retailer's listing, so this is probably where they got it. But if we click through to the retailer's listing ... it's not even a new computer even though they've listed it under "new." . It's "like new pristine condition." OS upgraded.

The point isn't that it's a used computer, but that the inventory is a bizarre collection of old computers, VHS tapes, what someone on HT aptly described as looking like a yard sale. There's got to be a pattern that would explain how their software selected this particular set of items.
