I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole. Things that look to good to be true are 99.9% of the time.

Q. What kind of products are available?
A. A wide variety of products (THOUSANDS of products from HUNDREDS of manufacturers) are available. We provide non-members an opportunity to browse a very limited selection of sample items at sample prices. The variety of products available to Club members is incredible ? you name it, it is probably available.
Q. Why such low prices?
A. Our staff constantly search the world for the very best buys on a wide variety of products, which is why the prices are so low. Most of the products offered are overstocks, liquidations, surplus merchandise, etc
Q. What condition are the products in?
A. Almost all the products being offered are NEW (not used or refurbished) and come with a full manufacturer's warranty.
Q. Do the products come with a warranty?
A. In the very unlikely event you experience problems with any products, rest assured that you are in most cases covered by a full manufacturer's warranty. Many of the products being offered are from large manufacturers like IBM, Sony, Black & Decker, etc. and the manufacturers will stand behind their products should you have a problem during the warranty period.
Q. How can I place orders for something I want to buy?
A. Orders can be placed by phone, on-line via the Internet, and by mail.
Q. Can I order by credit card?
A. Unfortunately we do not accept credit card orders due to the overhead associated with credit card processing charges, and pass these savings on to our Club members.
Q. How soon can I expect to get my purchase from the time I place an order?
A. That depends on the shipping option you choose. For faster shipping methods you can expect your purchase to arrive within a 1-2 business days, for slower methods it might be 1-2 weeks.
Q. What is the refund policy?
A. Most merchandise ordered can be returned, however a minimal restocking fee may apply. Please note that certain items, such as software, cds, and dvds cannot be returned once they have been opened.
Q. Do you accept international orders?
A. We welcome international orders. Once you start ordering, some extra shipping and handling charges may apply for orders sent overseas, however these are usually quite reasonable. Countries also typically charge import duties on incoming products ? you can check with your local government for specific duty rates. Please note that free promotional items cannot be shipped to addresses outside of the United States.
Q. What do I receive with my membership?
A. With your membership you will receive the Clearout Club Buyer's Guide, your complete Club shopping guide. As a member, you'll also receive a year's worth of FREE updates of the Clearout Club Buyer's Guide.

Only takes a check??? WTF your giving them your info to wipe out everything in your account. I would pass this big time.
Note (from their Q&A page):
"Q. Can I order by credit card?
A. Unfortunately we do not accept credit card orders due to the overhead associated with credit card processing charges, and pass these savings on to our Club members."
This is a BIG warning sign.
Payments are by direct deduction from your checking account. Not much protection here. I would NEVER order from an online business that did not accept credit card payment.

Do not sign up!
Google search only comes up with a couple hits.
Following the links and you can find some other forum discussion where the Clearout Club doesn't even sell you the merchandise, they just point you to sites, etc...
Also the free iPod, they point you to freeipods.com.
Total scam, the checking information you submit is not even encrypted!

here is the exact e-mail they sent back to me (obviously a template):
The domain name was registered in Nov. 2004. However, they have a customer's testimonial where she claims to have saved $3000 over the past year.
It's also interesting that they have photos of their customers. Yep, that's what we all do: send our photos along with thank you letters/emails. :Q

wow I am so shocked at how openly it appears to be a scam and some poor sucker ordered from them. I guess without anandtech and FW I would fall for crap like this myself without knowing about reseller rating and all the stuff I have learned over the last few months lurking here.
