im not sure what to think of this site? has anyone heard of them? i mean a new mac pro 13'' for 500us seems a little fishy..... if it is a scam its a good one.

take a look.

[Desaevious]

It *looks* legit...but probably so to fool any one of us into buying used/stolen merch that isn't new at all.

Biggest scam. Look who they're owned by. Clearly all fake names. There are testimonials all over the internet that google would of found in a couple clicks.

[m4tt]

Yea, Give me your money insted, your not going to get anything for it any way but at least you will feel better in the end knowing I got to spend it in the USA!

[xAZxE30x]

yeah its a scam. I came across a site once that was selling cameras for about a grand cheaper. I shit myself and told my dad about the site. He laughed at me and then did a google search and came up with pages of people bitching. Basically what they do is once you make a purchase.. they send you an email a few days later saying that the item you purchased is out of stock and it will take a few weeks to get it to you. I think that is a easy way to buy time maybe to collect the money? Stupid fuckerrss

[TexasTerp]

any site like that is going to be a scam, for most products, especially like the apples they have specific regulated prices for all of their products.
