Has anyone dealt with this site before: http://www.genetheipodguy.com ?

I am not promoting it, just curious if it is legit. They seem to be offering REALLY cheap prices on ipods, and also wholesale deals.

Yikes, I wouldn't touch that with somebody else's credit card!

Looks legit to me.. it is a secure site, whois lookup shows that the site was created September 26th, and will expire on the same date next year. So whether or not Gene is here for the long haul remains to be seen, but it is nice that there is lots of contact information on the website. I'd say call the listed number and find out for yourself.

"We accept wire transfer, money orders, certified checks, company and personal checks, Master Card, and Visa. Due to the low mark-up on wholesale orders, we have a 2.5% surcharge on Master Card and Visa orders. Wire transfers and checks never have a surcharge when you order from us. Remember personal and business checks have a 3-day hold."

Imposing a surcharge on VISA/Mastercard orders is a violation of their terms of service as a merchant. Wire transfers AND certified checks are also irreversible transactions. You're more likely to choose the latter over the former...so what I would do is, RUN, RUN, RUN.

Yeah, I agree it seems to good to be true. But I am surprised Apple hasn't taken any action against the site.


This guy also lists the same items on ebay, and seems to have a lot of feedback.
