    Apparently it was just created on the 23rd. A lot of the retail prices are wrong, but the thing that I notice is the fact that they are very cheap on some items. It uses ProStores (by eBay), so I'm not sure what kind of security or protection that includes. Any opinions would be useful!

    I love how all the retail prices are lower than the price and you save a negative amount :D

    you are a fool if you order from such a site. firstly if its poorly desinged they will treat your CC and otehr information with equal lack of care. Its amaturish at best.
