Planning to buy a ps3 here:
http://www.import-beststuff.com/

Can someone tell me if the site is good? The price is really awesome there.

I've never heard of this site and all I have to say is... There has to be a catch to this. I mean look at the price. We're talking $189.99 + S&H for a 80GB PS3 console....

Personally, I would have to do a LOT of research on this site before I took this deal.

1. The site looks pretty generic. (Of course that doesn't necessarily mean anything)
2. To my knowledge, I know of no place that sells 80GB PS3's for only $189.99 + S&H.

Go down to the bottom of the page and read the user agreement, you would be paying for a list of places you can get the ps3 at wholesale prices. 200 dollars for a cd-rom with a list companies on which you could easily find on the internet.

Dont buy.

That's some good sleuthing there, Nin.

But still... is it just me, or do all scam sites seem to always have such horrible, horrible grammar/punctuation/spelling/etc.? I mean, you'd think that someone who wanted to pull off a successful scam would put the effort into making his/her site look legitimate...

LMAO, I wouldnt but from there anyway, looks like the site has been pieced together by a 5 year old, and a very sneaky 5yo at that :P

And f you did order from this kid, then all you have to do is tell Paypal to reverse the charge due to a misleading ad.

Ha ha...talk about scams....I posted my modded PS2 on Craigslist and got a response from a "business man who wanted to buy for fiancee for gift." Yes, he spelled it "fiancee." The entire email was riddled with poor grammar. And of course I would have to ship it oversees. At least he could have said he was a middle school student or something. A little more credible for a kid to spell and that way than for a "business man."....lol

I just can't believe that there are apparently still people who fall for this stuff.

1.) Heh. Nice.

2.) I actually wouldn't be all that surprised if a businessman didn't know how to write. Good God, just have the average person write you a letter, and you'll see how horrible people are at using the English language.

3.) "Fiancee" is actually correct. "Fiance" (with that lil' mark above the "e") refers to a male, whereas "fiancee" (again with that lil' mark) refers to a female. So when the guy said he was getting it for his fiancee, he was actually correct. :P It's one of those weird lil' gender things we picked up from Ze French.

This is such bullshit! I am seriously mad after seeing that site. How can somebody do that? And even if you are buying a wholesale list how can he change the price of the list? One link you pay 200 and another you pay 400 but its all the same thing!!! Very disgraceful. I dont see how cops arnt busting down his door.
