Is this website a scam? It looks too good to be true.

I mean, look at the stuff on there! They got everything I could want all on one site. I'm sure shipping would be outragous but I'm just curious if this site is trustworthy.

It looks kind of shady. I would try it out by buying something really cheap and see how it goes.

Shipping is from Hong Kong, right? I wonder how expensive that is.

What exactly on the site is so amazing? I've seen comparable prices at many other places.

Ilooks pretty sketchy. I've seen Treasue of the Caribean for AES got for $850+ and they claim to be selling it for about $300 less. That game was also had very limited print run of I thin less then 1000.

Gotta be a scam.

Ah shit I didn't even see the Neo Geo games.

The description of Treasure of the Caribbean is odd.

"Comes with both Japanese & USA insert and manual."

The site is legit, however, they do not keep it up to date. You need to email them to make sure they have the item/s you want in stock.

They have had the following link up for past year

and have no stock, but haven't taken it down.

I was going to buy all their stock.

Agreed and they're slow in responding back to you. I found most of their stuff was out-of-stock.

Heh, I had a similar experience with them. I ordered a rare 3rd party PS2 controller and some GBM accessories. Waited a month or so, and then emailed them. Their reply: Oh, we don't have any of that stuff. Would you like these similar items instead, or would you like to wait for new stock to arrive?
'course all the items production runs had ended a long time ago, and their site was the only one that had the stuff listed anymore.
They gave me a refund when I asked for it. It's not a scam, just false advertising and bad communication.

So in other words... it's a scam.

I have been to the Golden Shop in Hong Kong many many moons ago. If its the same, then some great stuff can be found! Since it is in another country, maybe do a small purchase first to verify?
