DocBlake Posted March 2, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Prices far too good to be true. Offshore location. A recipe for a major scam.

lmagna Posted March 2, 2018 Share #4 Posted March 2, 2018 It does seem too good to be true but on the other hand they take PayPal as a payment option and PayPal guarantees your money back if you do not get what you ordered. Could be worth the risk if they have something you are really interested in and are willing to wait for it. I doubt that their shipping is on the fast side. Just my 2 cents and worth what you paid.

DocBlake Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted March 2, 2018 Although they have the Paypal logo at the page bottom, along with Visa and Mastercard, when you actually have to pay, Paypal is not an option. Scam. Also, they offer a real bargin on an Amati Keel Klamper, regularly $129.99, on sale for $43.99 (like everything else). The clamp retails for about $70, not $129.99. Scam. tasmanian, mtaylor and Chuck 3 Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution! Click on the builds below and link to the log.

That would do it for me. If they show payment options on their site and then don't follow up then I would not bother with them no matter what the cost. All my credit cards have consumer protection as well but I am not as sure how easy they are to use. I have used PayPal and of course eBay and in both cases they were pretty trouble free and quick without a bunch of fine print stuff.

SaSi Posted March 2, 2018 Share #8 Posted March 2, 2018 The website's domain was registered by someone in New Jersey. It reminds me of some photography e-shops that did scams and bait and switch practices. Better stay away. mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsjax Posted March 3, 2018 Share #9 Posted March 3, 2018 Looks like they just took everything off of ebay and change the price to $43.95. mtaylor 1 My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
