A friend of mine pointed me to http://www.truethgood.com/category.asp?csort_id=145

What do you all think? The prices seem too good to be true. But with a Macbook Pro (I assume that's what the one at the bottom is) at that price it's almost worth taking a punt. Especially since I can pay with Paypal which should cover me, no?

Anybody else seen them? Can't find any hints in Google searches.
 
Well, It's run out of China.....
The site has not been updated since 2007......
Not sure what the exchange rates are, but the prices seem too good to be true.......
Wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole......

If it's too good to be true, it usually is. Never buy from anywhere other than authorized Apple reseller or Apple themselves. Apple requires all their resellers to meet a certain pricing scheme, that's why many places bundle extra accessories to keep the cost down, or give you mail in rebates (never instant rebates). If a place has significantly lower costs, it is definitely not legit. Save yourself the trouble and buy from a reputable store or retailer (Amazon, Best Buy etc), not an online store that's a few months old.
 
so the front page

it has a dozen macs on it

none of the pics/descriptions are consistent

the prices use a Euro sign at the wrong end

lol...understandable...i'm not tooo sure what currency it is either:p
 
They accept Western Union, arent Western Union payments the #1 choice for scammers? Like 100% of the time when you pay that way you will get scammed?
 
Your friend is an idiot, if you go for this ... well ... I think you can guess what we would say.

I'll start up a donation site for you and your friend to help purchase you two matching t-shirts.
