^ Contacted the seller and he/she said 300 a pop =.= too good to be true but I would like to know if someone actually tried it. Everything sounds fishy and doesn't make sense. "western union", "money gram". Those paying method is like putting your money in a mail box and hope item will be delivered. The difference is that you can actually have a chance to see who's the one stealing your cash....

Do you want to gamble $300 on a Chinese website (where you may have no legal recourse) with a seemingly shady seller? I sure wouldn't. If you want something cheap, check the AT F/S section.

what's and where the at f/s section?

OP: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Alibaba a trade website and you have to show you're relible to get the golden member; specially for a year.

Now - scammers do pop up there; but this is one of the sites used a lot to contact Chinese suppliers.......*my engineers use this site when looking for a new supplier and for prototypes made. They tend to find the places they want to through and ask our purchasing manager to do the rest.

Flags; big time is western union.....you'd rather pay by bacs; or cc.......if neither goods come; you can usually get bank to either recall the payment or CC fraud protection. If he doesn't want to do either......walk away
