    So Ive been looking for some electronics stuff and I found this website on google search. It had the lowest price on the top tier brand TV I wanted by about 40%!!! The name of the site is misspelled but that could be that they just wanted a name that would get a lot of traffic. :dunno:

    It just seems too good to be true but at the same time I dont want to miss the boat if all is legitimate.

    Any opinions? Any sites or other ways I can go to check them out?

    edit: on the page it says "Electronic Shoping" one "p"...thats what I meant about the misspell of website...but I see asian text on top so maybe it was just a honest mistake.

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    The are so many laborers in China, so the prices must be this low! Personally, I wouldn't touch that site unless i was buying something under $20.

    Just stick to woot.com and slickdeals.net for your good buys.

    I'm not telling you too, just saying I would stick to those instead of going through some shady retailer. IF you really want good deals on T.V's you should get one on black friday

    I got mine like 3 years ago, and the prices are still around the same as when I got mine. So I beg to differ, you just have to find who has the best deal. Fry's electronics kicks ass in Wilsonville.

    If it's too good to be true, then it isn't worth it. I researched high-end SLR cameras a year ago, and found a site that sold cameras for half the price of what they should be. Through more research, it turns out they sell poorly-made knock-off products that look like what they should be.
    Not worth it IMO, especially for that kind of money. And if they have a bunch of mispellings, that should be a clue.

    Not every deal is like Gasol for cap space..:wink:

    Buy it. The economy, in part, thrives off of suckers who buy faulty goods.

    If you are posting threads asking questions about websites offering low prices who can't correctly spell the manufacturer's name, I'm pretty sure you aren't in a position to hire the "day laborer skills" of any living human being. ;)

    if you are unsure whether it's a scam or not and can't find any information on it either way, i would probably not give them $1400.
