    Yeah, I call scam.

    You never know though. My brother picked up a PS3 in Singapore for around €100. They were retailing for €350-400 at the time. Worked great for a year and a bit, then up and died. No warranty.

    I was in a very vulnerable place a few weeks back.. lmfao.. I almost got scammed by one of these places.. Google search is always your friend when trying to check out the legitimacy of places like this..

    Though doing a quick search myself on them.. looks like all of the latest questions asked about them are VERY recent.. so it may be a shell from an old site that was a scam site...

    ***Scammer alert***

    They only accept Wire Transfers, and Western Union. Which are two of the most used methods of payment(and the only two they accept) for scamming.

    Don't do it man.

    When something is to good to be true.. it is.

    Yeah, it really does. I sent them an email. Maybe i'll find the cheapest thing and try it. Who knows. They do have a public record of past transactions..

    Its a scam. My friend from China said that there are many similar site identical to this one to trick foreigners to make purchase. He is an alienware fans and I can tell you there is absolutely NO alienware reseller in China except Dell China. Also, NEVER make payment with wire transfer or western union. They are untraceable (for us).
