    I have bought a few things from buy.com over the years and they have always been pretty good. They are a big company. So far I have bought a projector screen, my corsair tx850 power supply, HOTAS joystick, laptop bag, sirius radio unit for my car, and some other small stuff. They always got to me safe and the prices were great.

    Ok so its refurb....sigh.....I wasnt really worried about spelling lol.

    This is surprising, I have got a few things from buy.com and never had issue. Their ebay store has really good feedback as well, over 900000 and 99.7% positive.
