I dunno, I wouldn't.


I'm going to go with not legit for $500 Alex.

Here's a sample google search that shows how sketchy they are - they have multiple domains, all with the same content, just different user photos - Sample Search Using One Of The E-mails


Wii and iPod for more than a few percent below retail = scam.


It's a scam to get your membership fee. Basically they post an ad on craigslist for a really cheap item, then after you e-mail them you get an e-mail back from steve78@macmobilemail.com. I had inquired about an ad and got this e-mail back, which is identical to what many many other people have gotten:

sorry I sold them.. but I ordered them from suppliers I found from membrsupply.com .. they have much cheaper prices than Amazon.com

kind regards,
steve

The website charges a membership fee but all they send you for it is a list of suppliers that you can get yourself from Google, and none with any of the prices that they mention on the website. Check out more info here:

Well I'm sure you've already found this out but the whole site is a scam. I think this guy is the ringleader steve78@macmobilemail.com, and to get more information here's another website http://www.ripoffreport.com/MEMBERSUPPLY/Bait-and-Switch/Membersupply-com-Membersuppl-679M3.htm
I almost fell for it as well, but then I remembered when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is!!!
