Is this place legit? They have some decent deals but some are too good to be true. I can't find anything via google; nor reseller ratings...Any opinions would be great. They don't take paypal either which is a huge turn away point but if someone has worked with these guys then i have no reason not to buy from here

Ummm, its obviously a non-legit site.
If their generic site and crazy low prices were enough to set off warning bells (along with the lack of any reviews), check out what they say in their FAQ

"Why do you sell software cheaper than official brand providers do?
Because buying the software with us you receive the copies of downloaded licensed versions. This means, you will have no hard copies of documentation (licenses or instructions) - just files and instructions in .txt format. This software is not registered online. But we can offer you all updates for most of the software. This software is purchased by wholesale from official providers, whose wholesaling prices are considerably lower. As we do the minimal price markup free of packing, recording, transportation expenses, our price is lower than the retail price of official providers."

Basically they are admitting they're selling pirated revisions.

The first thing I'd be asking is why are they hosting out of the Ukraine but targeting North American customers. I assume it's so they can't be taken down as quickly/easily.

Plus, do you really want to give some Ukranian/Russian mobsters your CC details?
