    Is gamemice.com a legit retailer?

    I wanted to order a Logitech G900 mouse. Its $149.99 on Amazon and more on some other websites. But it is priced $127.80 at gamemice.com .
    I googled about the site's legitimacy but couldn't find anything solid approving or disapproving the retailer. Also there are no customer reviews under any of it's items.
    Does anybody know anything about this retailer? Should I play it safe and order from Amazon or Newgg?

    Don't know the retailer but $127.80 isn't that surprising.

    I probably wouldn't buy from them but if you wanted to take a chance, make sure you use a credit card to order so you will have some protection of something goes wrong.

    Just play it safe, and order from Amazon.

    I don't know if GameMice charges shipping... but even if they offer free shipping, the price difference is $20. With Amazon, you get free shipping with Amazon Prime, and a very friendly return policy. So if you don't like the mouse, you can return it. If the mouse ends up being defective, you can return it to Amazon. With an unknown vendor like GameMice, they probably won't have such a friendly return policy, and force you to go to Logitech's warranty support if any problems arise with the mouse.

    Amazon's liberal return policy is worth it by itself to buy from Amazon.

    Hello,

    I was interested in the same mouse (G900), did you end up ordering it from Gamemice or Amazon?
    If from Gamemice how was ur experience? and did you order it inside the US or Canada?
