    Questionable Website

    Got sent this to my email somehow...

    http://www.chinaeagora.com

    Some of their stuff looks really good and cheap, but it definately seems like a scam. For instance, they are offering to sell iPhones, which arent even out yet...

    Anyone bought from them, or have an opinion? I'm going to assume scam unless I hear otherwise.

    It has the name China in it. They might be 'real' products, but theyre not the real deal. Usually theyre replicas.

    Man I really want some of the shit on there... They have a crazy PC with a Intel Quad processor and all this other amazing shit for like $800... The question is, you think these things will even work?

    It looks really hokey to me, as a designer. The sponsor logos are really shittily cut and placed, low quality and pixelated; looks like the site was thrown together by an amateur. I wouldn't buy anything from there based on the way things are displayed.

    They probably will work, but not as good and/or not as long.

    Chinese goods are usually replicas, previously used or rejected products.

    99.9% sure it's a scam. Their domain was registered in the beginning of February, and combined with their ridiculously shitty web design and pricing it reeks of plastic blue sheet. Top that with a probably Paypal or Western Union payment onry scheme, and you're guaranteed to be Ackbaring it up.

    Wow the grammar and puctuation alone on the front page would make me never buy anything from them ever. They managed to use like 20 periods, all of which were used incorrectly. Now that's skill.

    Intel's only quad-core processor in consumer machines, unless I'm mistaken.
