Has anyone had any experience buying directly from China? I'm planning on buying this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Garmin-Nuvi-360-Personal-GPS-NEW_W0QQitemZ110006775015QQihZ001QQcategoryZ4668QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It's brand new, so it *shouldn't* have any problems. The only good thing about it is about $160 (with shipping), whereas it's over $600 here.

dude, be wary of the seller. he only as a feedback of 10 and all his feedback ratings were left on the same day by users who are no longer registered. i think it would be wise to stay away from him and this item.

Lets see... the seller has feedback from:

skpfoe
ksapdw
lvjsei
ofasow
oasjwp
skdfpe
sjdfoe
sojsdf
zjcoas
and poxidf

None of which have feedback from anyone else and are no longer registered.


Yep, sounds legit

7/9/2006 11:51:17 PM

i hope the best for you, good luck

well the fact that he made up comments about himself doesn't mean he's a scam.... he's just trying to boost his ego lol.

Its not a 100% indicator but it should be enough of a warning for you to stay far away.

How's that saying go, "If it's too good to be true..."

so outside of this instance and asside from cell phone accesories, has anyone ever ordered anything direct from China on a larger scale?

In was looking into it last night after seeing this thread and you can get some pretty amazing deals through the right places on In dash LCD/DVD setups, Stereo equpitment, etc....

I bought a remote-controlled helicopter w/ a wireless video camera. The seller had excellent feedback and the product, while cheap, still flew until I flew it into the back of my stationwagon. Then it would just bounce around like a bird w/ a broken wing.
