Nintendo DS Lite - possibly £79.99 ? opinions?

yakko

I came upon http://www.mobilexperts.co.uk whilst looking for a Nintendo DS Lite . They claim to be a Hampshire based company, and claim to have NDS for £79.99 with a game - which seems a little too cheap . Does anyone have experience of this company. Also something about their site feels a little "off" - Please don't consider this a recommendation. I really want info first, good and bad, before this can be considered a bargain.
Thanks

If you click the verisign avatar on their site it takes you to a page with their address on it:

Something looks fishy.
When you click on digital cameras - Canon..
The prices are in dollars and their is a dodgy looking page heading..

Try clicking on the live chat option too..

No dollar signs for me, and no live chat option, looks like a good price tho

i don't trust this site tbh and wouldnt buy from it...if anyone does and has a good experience let me know. It just seems as though the products that they sell ie. ipods, digi cameras etc seem very "scamesque"..

As they say, if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. This site rang alarms bells from the first minute I saw it. A few bits I don't like include:

1. Site contains a lot of dead links like it's been knocked together quickly. The graphics also reflect this.

2. The prices are quite simply too low.

3. MobilEx Ltd's registered office address is in Portsmouth.

4. Why have both Verisign and Thawte certs?

5. When you make a purchase it doesn't even use any of these certificates? It takes you to a checkout hosted by another company.

6. The domain name has only recently been registered. I get the impression they may have poached the domain name which would explain why the secure certificate links are still working (Valid from the last registrant of the domain name). Take a look at the domain name registration details. Looks well dodgy to me:

why not email them and ask them if it's possible to collect from the office and see what the reaction is? If they say yes I don't live far from Fareham so happy to pop down there and pick one up :-)
