Is this website legit? Seems a bit too good to be true.

In my experience websites that

a. Provide a "countdown" to their products

b. Announce when that item has been purchased

Are usually scammy. Even if they provide the item, they're usually fake/low quality

They seem sketchy. Their "Verified seller" stuff is just a random jpeg.

Countdown adds pressure, so it feels like that's a blow against it as well.

 

Also no actual address for their office, which is super weird if it were a real company.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Ha ha, I let the count down expire and it immediately restarts from 20mins.  It seems to run that in a loop to keep the pressure on despite the number of units sold not changing.

I'd have to say that the site has very little reputation and it's products aren't exactly genuine.

Obviously fake. I'm a little surprised you even have to ask.

Read the reviews. That alone should tell you it's fake. Most look doctored by people that can't write English.

Also, if you watch the countdown timer, it just restarts. There's no limit.

100% legit! I mean, look at the picture bellow all with the same hands, all holding the same box exactly the same way, just in the car, on the bed, and other random places, and only the recent 100% legit reviews with pictures are at the top, and "show more reviews" has no pictures.

 

Only 100% legit sites have not working Facebook and Instagram links at the bottom. And a gmail e-mail is used for returns, with a "15$ restock fee". I mean, GMail, its Google, it must be legit. And with "We specialize in sourcing the latest trending technology products " as said under "About Us", you know its true, when their other products is a tacky USB battery bank with a picture of money on it, seriously indicates how they are on top of fashion trends.

 

I say ask a mortgage at your bank, and put it all on buying all these air pods, which you can resale yourself for 10$ more, and you'll be swimming in money.

This could be you:

By the way, you MUST buy my book: How to become a millionaire - The REAL deal!, the book reveals all the secrets that the government doesn't want you to know to become rich the moment you purchase the book, and wait 30 days so you can't return it. It is a wonderful book! It won 10 GoodBytes Best Book award, and 3 Golden Book award (presented by GoodBytes and Co.).

Better Business Bureau doesn't have them in their records (GA Tech lists themselves being A+), so I'm going to call scam on this one.

Fake...The reviewers all have these stupid "asterisks" in their name. Not only that, it looks like the asterisks cover up everything but the first letter and the last letter of their names. If reviewers wanted to conceal their identity, I'm positive that the site would allow "anonymous/guest" reviews (unless they are just that poor). 

 

Also out of all legit places I shopped, I don't remember there being an annoying "banner" telling you when someone bought that product

Don't call me a nerd, it makes me look slightly smarter than you

eBay does this.

 

X sold in the last 24 hours or whatever. That and the number on watch lists.

This is something different, Ebay doesn't have a popup saying who bought the items.

What i meant was the popups that showed who bought what. I don't remember ebay and any other legit site I have used doing that
