From an early age, my father told me that if something is too good to be true, than it usually is. Every now and then though, something pops up and it still strikes my curiosity.

Either I have struck gold, or this site is a HUGE scam. If it's real, it will be bitter sweet for me because all of you, will probably wipe out this guys inventory before I have a chance to buy a few scanners. What are your thoughts on this?

Read Closely. This is One Unit Available, obviously used, incomplete, and the owner seems very displeased.

Website looks pretty sketch-o.
Many links don't work, shipping rates are stated as ".50", policy states you can NOT use CC or Paypal if you are a new customer (WTH is that?)
Also showing PSR-500s for $158.
Seems legit as a conversion van with "Free Ice Cream" spray-painted on the side

That site made my malware program go absolutley crazy. It kept closing the page to protect me. The site is a scam in my opinion.

I don't think this is legit, and don't worry about a lot of members on here wiping out the inventory before you have a chance to get a few scannners, since the site says there is only one of this item to buy.

But, you go first, purchase this item, and let the rest of us know how you made out when and IF it arrives in the mail. I'll be waiting to hear from you. Good Luck!

I tried ordering something from this site over a month ago. I submitted my order, but I didn't give them any payment info. They haven't contacted me to proceed. I wonder what these guys are up too. I can tell you this much DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT under any circumstances pay these people or anyone for that matter using Western Union. Western Union can be picked up by anyone one in the world at any of their offices, and all they need to claim the money is a transaction number and the amount. They don't ask for ID or anything. So if Western Union is involved. I will bet you dollars to doughnuts the money is being picked up somewhere in Nigeria.

If you look at the HTTP this is not a security page. I would not send for anything on this page. The unit is used(if it is even real) and the excuse he gives for why he wants to get rid of it is stupid

Nice "homage" to Amazon's page layout. :roll: I wonder how many credit card numbers go through this site in a year...
