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.
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...

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.
