Hi guyz...

first a bit about me.. I almost got conned into that WU scam.. I had 14 emails sent between me and the seller. He even called me up from a US cellphone, when supposedly he was in Italy for a BIG computer deal. Man O man, thnks to my persistence on researching and one of my frnd.. She just googled for "Western Union" +scam and voila.. there I was, saved from a suicide.. LOL

I consider myself as a well-informed tech savy guy and I was stupid enough not to just google for it first.. anyways back to business

I'm planning of purchasing from this site to the tune of 1100$.. its a refurbished laptop.. It accepts payments form PP (paypal) and credit cards. The deal is not a mind-blower, but its a refurb laptop at a decent price, new one is about 1600

I've done that whois Lookup thing and this is what I got

I would also suggest that you use a credit card only (not a debit card), or use a credit card to fund your PayPal account. They don't seem to be listed here at RR, so if you do choose to use them, come back and leave a review for them.

Good Luck

Hey.. thnks a lot.. but, I got too skeptical and bought a desktop from dell outlet instead..

Btw, what does that mean

BUYDEAL.COM HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS DISCLAIMER BY BUYDEAL.COM IN NO WAY AFFECTS THE TERMS OF THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, IF ANY.

does it mean, if they ship me something broken I should go to the manufacturer directly instead of contacting them back..
