Is this website a scam for APPLE products?

Doesn't look reliable or legitimate.

You could buy something extremely inexpensive and see how that goes if you feel like gambling in the O'l West.

I wouldn't buy anything from a place using one domain in the URL and another in the graphics on the site.

Seriously, "Famousaler.com"? [sic]. Famous aler? Sounds very trustworthy. ;)

It was registered to some guy in China earlier this week. Obvious scam.
 
The reader line that crawls across the top of the page reads like so:

Welcome to our company,we hold promotion now.Here is the details:If you buy one items you can recieve a ps3 ,an ipod touch or xbox 360 as a gift;If you buy two items once you can recieve vip price and an iphone 3 GS 32GB as a gift; If you buy three items once you can recieve vip price....

Bad English generally equals a bad company.

Yeah, I was having a good laugh at the Engrish on that site.

In case you weren't convinced it's a scam before, the "customer testimonials" plus the whois info prove it's a scam:

I was a little nervous purchsing from appealsale.com online but my online order went very smooth. I ordered a projector on the 12th and picked it up on the 16th of July. They sent all the necessary emails informing me of my purchase status. --Nick Harmon

The problem with this is that our friend Nick here ordered his projector on the 12th of July, a full month and a half before the site's domain name was even registered.

So I decided to have a bit of fun with the online chat (which is probably a bot anyways):

How can your customer testimonial state that Nick bought products from you on July 12th when according to the whois information, your site was registered early this week

Amazing. I laughed IRL
 
Guess after all the fake Apple China stores, it only makes sense for them to branch out to the web.
