Re: Protechstore - legit?

Agreed - I checked the ids of those leaving feedback just to confirm a US-based operation and the vast majority were also US-based, so it does look like a different supplier. But the review was for protechstore.com ... it remains to be seen if the reviewer was getting his/her wires crossed or the protechstore eBay-er also owned the domain at that time.

I suppose that means we still haven't heard of anything ever being delivered from the current protechstore.com, and the fact there are some positive reviews for goods received from protechstore.com is misleading.

At the time it had been suggested protechstore.com had "suddenly appeared" with bargain prices, hence the need for suspicion. But that wasn't the case as there is a history dating back to 2006, although that history looks like it belongs to someone else.

The overriding message is still to avoid like the plague. Especially as at the time of writing the home page reads:

jtablesession::Store Failed
DB function failed with error number 1016
Can't open file: 'jos_session.MYI' (errno: 145) SQL=INSERT INTO `jos_session` ( `session_id`,`time`,`username`,`gid`,`guest`,`clie nt_id` ) VALUES ( 'b896eaf0ad6db04dcb7e407ae3c89517','1248284083','' ,'0','1','0' )


Hmmm....
