    Chances are, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. If you look online there are many threads about people being scammed by that site. Even though the escrow service sounds promising, people complain about that.

    No way is that genuine, don't fall for it. There's good deals then there's ridiculous deals. I once got an intel SSD for under $250 when they were going for $400 around 40% off however $476 for something worth at least $2500 thats at least 80% cheaper. I wouldn't believe it.

    like 90% of those pics r from R2.... don't buy onto that ... Anyone can create a website (especially in china, I have been through this with my little business) and advertise whatever there... Though wholesale products are actually there, u may receive a "copy" of m17x R3 (or even more likely - R2) and they will convince you that you actually did buy into that :D ... If you really wanna do any transaction with that country there's a chinese version of ebay that I personally find extremely credible but you gotta know chinese for that or have someone to translate for you... pm me for service name if you got prereqs below, ill be glad to share
