Is this good deal too good to be true?

I am almost afraid to post this, because if it is legit and too many orders happen right away they may take it away, but my finger is poised to press "check out".

wow. thats hot.
their reseller rating is crap. I would avoid it. looks like one of those companies that traps you into making an order for goods they dont have.

Do it man...looks like a great deal. Just be sure to use a credit card to protect yourself.

Shoot...I just bought a used 800XL for the same price...

hmm...I believe you, but they are in the RTPE, I was under the impression that all of the companies in it were pretty good. Other opinions?

customers are describing exactly what I said there. They put you on auto backorder for stuff they supposedly have and actually dont. After trying to deal with 2 other companies recently, I wont order from anyone but newegg again. Its too much of a headache, with too much stuff thats nearly illegal or morally wrong being done by these companies.

Just checked their stock. As of right now, they have 2 "in stock." I still wouldn't trust them though as I can order 9999 cards with 2-10 days ordering wait time on their site, which is kind of telling...

Ok, I decided to be low tech and call their 1-888 number, sales guy said the price is correct, but they are out of stock with "no due date listed". He also seemd to not be all that interested when I informed him the site said it was in stock. Stupid customer non-friiendly merchants. Thanks for your opinions everyone.

Now it says in-stock @ $559. Something tells me they will honour any orders you make @ $559 (even in the thousands), while if you ordered a couple with whatever the old price was, expect to wait awhile...

What about Amazon, buy.com, outpost, clubit? =P

Anyway, I wouldn't order if its not either Amazon or Newegg, maybe buy.com and clubit.
