I have had a buch of buys from them, and yes most are open box store returns, or used you may say, and I have yet to be disappointed. I feel the feedback problem is people who dont know how to read, who get the stuff and dont under stand why they just got something used for half off and expected it to be new at the prices they sell for.
Usually the stuff I have gotten so far may say very little, but like in the case of my PS2 Guitar hero controllers, they showed up in the box, with all packing material, and stickers, and I paid $1.99 for them, I was floored to say the least.
I got my kids some of them game chairs for Christmas with the butt shakers, and speakers, paid $50 each, when they were going for $150 each, and they are thrilled with them and still use them every day.
Its just with that site you just got to understand the stuff isnt new, its used, who in their right mind could think for $30 they be getting $115 new software, but some do, and when it shows up used, pitch a fit as if its not their fault for not reading.
But I and many friends and family have bought from them and have yet to have a single problem at all. Just got to remember they go by weight, so your always better off throwing some really cheap crap in the box with each order to make the most of their shipping. Thats pretty much my only complaint I have with them if you want to call it that. But then I usually have like $30-$40 to spend when I go there and get around 20 things shipped to me, so Im never unhappy with a $15 shipping charge after I go through their site and find more deals on stuff I dont really need
