Crazy site sale you gotta see this

richardsmith_3

Man you guys have gotta check out the prices on this site

http://www.thegroovycompany.com

They're having a stock clearance and for once the prices are brilliant check out my cheapskate christmas present shopping spree! ;D

FIVE starwars toys (seriously good deal £1.95 each! I think i bought some of the last models though as some have disappeared from the site)

2 x cappacino makers, you buy one for £1.95 and get another free :P

A keyfinder keyring, £2.95

And it that lot cost me me £14.65 + P&P!

Last time i bought my brother starwars toys they were £6.95 EACH for this exact same range.

Oh happy happy day he's going to think i spent loads on him ;D

I'm tempted to buy some stuff for myself off that site, I was this > < close to getting a remote control stunt plane as I've always wanted one, no idea where I can fly it though and the missus probably wouldnt approve

Yup bought from them once before, everything came a few days later no problems. My friend bought a seriously cool die cast metal starsky and hutch replica car from them earlier this year too, it's not on their site anymore though, it's what I actually went on for but found the star wars stuff instead.

Thought i would move this to the quick grab it board as dont think this stuff will last for long

These are what the prices should be for these type of gadget / toys

But also it seems too good to be true.

I don't know if I am overly suspicious or not but this 'shop' seems wrong to me. There is nothing on the help pages about the company..as though the site was built in a hurry.

Also, and apologies if I am wrong, the tone of the original mail from the OP is so similair to other scam places that have done the rounds. I'm thinking about the use of the word 'crazy site' and addressing us as 'man'.

As I said i am probably just overly suspicious but not for me, thank you.

Just looked up the company's website details - they've had the domain for well over a year already.

The company appears to be someone in Scotlands online business and their contact details are registered to what looks like a residential address.

There's a phone number too if anyone is really that wary.

whois lookup for that domain. Give him a call if your worried..

I had exactly the same reaction on reading the opening post :-[

It instantly put me on guard.

Apologies to the OP if this is totally genuine, but my advice would be to moderate your tone slightly

It's a tad confusing as well...
