Is this site safe?
This site has some pretty good prices. I guess it is kinda like ebay. What I want to know is if I will be ripped off? Everything sold here is sold by the website, not by a user. Everything is brand new. Also when I go to register it asks for a credit card, the little lock at the bottom of my browser says it is secure. Here is the link.

Hmmmmm....not listed on ResellerRatings.com -- either very new or the people that shop there don't know enough to rank them.Otherwise, I've never heard of them.
Now....what will Ron do when he finds you not going to his buddies over at Mwave???  They are in your backyard, aren't they? And from what I've read around here, Ron seems to keep them in business by himself  -Craig |

BM4000,
Unless you're in a rush to get something, why don't you give the site two weeks to a month to see if its legit. Keep an eye on reseller ratings and see if anyone has good or bad to say about it. Carl |

Sometimes I'm a bit leary of sites even though they have verisign etc.. Can the certificates at the bottom there be faked? Thanks.

Its just a certificate and you can buy one for a very nominal sum. It isnt a certificate that implies that the site is good. All it means is that the guys have installed something from verisign or thawte that identifies the company while an encryption key is made. You can probably buy such a certificate at most hosting companies if you have your own domain name. The only requirements are a static IP.
So in essence dont need to fake a certificate if all it costs is about $5. Quote:

One thing I found interesting is that on each item they list is a 1.25 participation fee. In essence they could just be pulling your chain by saying that they are selling stuff but your spin nevers wins. I agree with Kubie, just wait and see if the site is still up in a couple of months, meanwhile you can use more established sites that users here recommend.
