$200 sc8e!?

Post by 85Edinger »

Hi all,
I just saw this place called gm5gifts that has the sc8e for $200! I was hoping somebody with a little more information could tell me what the catch is. I don't see how they can sell it at the price of a Traxxas 2wd and make a profit. Are they defective? Are they illegal contraband? Are they stolen?
Thanks!
Here's the link:

If it turns out to be a scam, doesn't the better business bureau track these people?

Has anyone bought from this site?
Has anyone heard of this site?
Has anyone ever seen a non- Strike on sale for 62% off?
The fact that there are reviews makes me think that someone may have actually gotten a "real" truck in the mail!

This pry won't be the popular way to go but from my experiences with these things that are too good to be true they usually are too good to be true. Good luck though if you try it.
