What's sad is that they are on a respectable server that merely has this to say about such operations:

DOH! :Q

He he. I bet that the address doesn't even exist or it was pulled randomly from the phonebook or online. I would tell Sony and and the other companies' products listed on that site and let them threaten the crap out of them! he he. That 10 yr old kid will then cry to his mommy.

I think this is an educational site for net consumers on what not to believe. How about their shipping :

Shipping:$19.95 base on weight.

Compare to :

All your base are belong to us.

...in addition, anybody who actually believes that those guys are legit and go paypalling them pretty much will lose their money in the future one way or another....

<< I ordered 100 of each item. Man I am going to make a killing on Ebay. I can probably retire after this. ;-) >>



Must not take much for you to retire. Even at 100, that's only a couple of hundred grand you'll make, right? I know I can't retire on that :)

Anyone in that area should go down to the address listed and
see if its a legit establishment, maybe the adress
is not even good. I am sure our fellow board members
would be interested to know. Gorby???

Anyone heard of common sense?

If you even attempt to go for this deal, it's a gamble at best

I suppose the price is so low since there is less of a drive for someone to pursue getting back $200...

Whatever the reason, the price is ridiculous haha.

Hey, I sell 21 inch monitors for $20 each. I only take cash, leave it in the box behind the electric car charger at Sunnyvale Fry's in an envelope with your address in it. I will ship it next day with overnight FedEx service. Don't worry, the shipping is on me!!

LOL. Don't you guys PM me or anything for the monitor.

Not that I think this site is legit, but haven't we all seen pricing error before? Like the almost free zip drive from Outpost? Or the cheap memory from Amazon? Or whatever... Just because they use Paypal doesn't make them scam artists.
Before we all scream scam, may be someone can stop by their shop and check it out. You might be able to turn a scam into a very hot deal.

You have GOT to be kidding. A single pricing error is one thing, but the entire inventory? It's a 12 year old and a copy of FrontPage2000. Gotta be.

So you don't remember that time when Amazon having pricing errors on almost all of it's memory?
All I am saying is we do not know anything about this outfit. Most of us don't even know where Woburn is. Let someone find out what's behind this company and then we can all say it's a scam. And I certainly hope no one is greedy enough to order anything from them.

Pricing error? It says right on their front page that everything is under $300.
