Thanks for the replies. It looks like a huge website with tons of other stuff for sale that is why I had some question on it. Accepts CCs and so many other items on it that look legit from many sellers sorta like an ebay or craigslist type of site. I defiantly wont be buying it then. Yes priced way to low suprised it is not sold already guess they are going to take as many CC numbers as they can.

I want to share my thought about it... I have only two stores online that I trust all the time... Amazon and Ebay. I never buy anything from some other stores. In Ebay you have to make sure you buying from a reputable seller with at least 98% of positive review. On amazon, you can buy from anybody... you have the protection of amazon if the seller scammed you.

Be careful as there are still Marketplace scams going on. I have a CamelCamelCamel price alert for the Fenix3 and it gets triggered every few days with a new Marketplace supplier with 10000+ items and asking you email them first. Obviously price was way low and websites are often only registered days before but it must work for them as they keep changing company name and have done it 12 times already that I know of. 

 

And try reporting to Amazon.... not easy.

Scam can happens too in Amazon, that's why I always make sure I buy stuff from someone that have good reviews. I will not buy from someone that have less than 4 stars.

Even that can be faked, few years ago a Marketplace seller set up and sold Windows licences at above normal prices then used stolen cards to purchase and review then dropped price to 20% below everybody else and send out fakes with the same licence codes. As you say at least Amazon cover you which is great.

tbh i only ever buy items on Amazon that are fulfilled by amazon themselves or known vendors i trust (for example Scan.co.uk via amazon store) its getting too easy to miss its coming form china, it catches so many people out, not that all stuff from china is trash, but I prefer amazon direct as the fullfillers.

 

as far as fleabay, I tend to avoid it in general, but thats just a personal preference. Ive never had an issue selling items on it, but rarely buy 2nd hand items (tech anyway)

lol just tried to look up a part and got this message, i do appreciate a site with a sense of humour :D

 

The requested product is not yet in our database, but we have dispatched some stalwart Camels to find it. This may take some time, but eventually it should appear.

Thank you for your patience.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
