Buying information

Does anyone have any experience with the purchase of information on where and how to purchase cheap electronics for instance : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=50563
It seems too good to be true and we all know how that goes but I thought I'd ask just in case someone know something about it.
Thanks for your help!

I wouldn't trust something like that for a minute, it's like those "Get rich and do nothing" programs. Do you ever hear anyone that actually gets rich? Sounds like a scam to me.

When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is; I'd steer clear unless you want to gamble. I noticed that he has three negative feedback reports in about three months; that really turns me off.

"There's no free lunch!". I think you have to ask yourself why someone would sell something to a perfect stranger for a price so far below market value. Let the buyer beware! If you want to check electronics pricing around the country in a quick convenient place, go to:

www.pricescan.com

Just keep clicking on the category you want and it will give you the lowest prices around the country.
