Techobox / techomobiles - anyone had any dealings with them?

Folks :-
I want to buy a PSP.
Looking around on the internet I notice a company called Techobox are offering the value pack for £80, which I think is quite good value. (http://northwales.adzooks.co.uk/for-sale/audio-visual/brand-new-psp-value-pack-for-80-742995.html)
The only thing is they won't allow collections and only accept payment via Money Gram or paypal or Western Union money transfer. Alarm bells are ringing! :-)
Has anyone had any dealings with this lot?
Thanks
Kevin

TECHOBOX is bad.
I asked them for proof of legitamacy and they sent me a certificate of their status as a Publicly Limited Company
(PLC)
I checked this and it was genuine.
I then found out you can BUy this status for only £32 onlin so it means diddly Squat.
Well... with the exception that if you tried to sue them, you'd be sueing the COMPANY and not the person (who would get away scot-free.)
Here's the website so you can read about it:

Also take a look at the Techobox website which looks dodgy as it's using other companies logos cut & pasted onto it (which is illegal)
Then there's the point that you can't order stuff from their website, you have to call up and give your details over the phone.
:think: Hmmm, THAT'S a good idea!

:exclamati Stay AWAY from Techobox :exclamati
There's no such thing as a free lunch. You can't buy a product with an RRP of £200 for £120!!0 -
The whole thing seemed dodgy, so I decided to stay away.0
