10GB Ipod for $148, but is the company legit?

[TheMCP]

Just visited an online store http://exchange-usa.com supposedly in florida with this deal. Some of the prices sound too good to be true. Also suspicious that they don't accept credit cards, only checks, money order, and wire transfer.

Just thought I would throw the word out there, I can't see them being legit, but thought I would see what sort of input I get from other members. Anybody every heard of them or dealt with them before.

They also have a 1-800 number (1-800-896-2142) which I called (from Canada which is actually a bit strange, since even a lot of major corperations don't necessarily make their 1-800 number active north of the border) and was able to get thru to a voicemail message.

lol only checks, money order, and wire transfer

do u even have to ask?

any "company" that accepts only non-traceable, non-protected forms of payment... i'm surprised they dont accept unmarked bills.

what u can do is send them a bunch of old bad checks so their bank will rob them when they try to cash them

They are not legit.

Everybody repeatedly call their 1-800 number, and leave a message that you are calling from Consumer and Corperate affairs in regards to their recent business practices.

Oh well, we can always dream about the day when Ipods are $150.

What is with the single letter bolding? Did I miss out on a Joke?

edited to remove my senseless bolding so that the r-e-p-o-s-t would work.

I don't get it either, but if you put them together from first to last, it spells "R-E-P-O-S."

there was an off-topic thread about cars or something. Turned out that after 20 posts or so, somebody bolded an A in their letter....... then somebody bolded a B. Soon, there was a thread which repeated the alphabet in one bold per post 12 times over. Well, it was at 12 when i stopped posting, i don't know how far it's gone.
