Has anyone had any experience buying from this website, EasyToBuyThem.com ?

They are selling Harman Kardon AVR 147 for only £66.76 with free shipping from the USA?! They are selling a few other Harman Kardon amps that I quite like the sound of, for similiar prices... They are based in New York, but the website address is listed in Liverpool (UK) and the copyright is dated 2007.

I really want to buy this receiver, as even on ebay I see it selling second hand for £150 +

They advertise a lot of different electronic goods, most of them at heavily discounted prices.

Anyone had any experience, please let me know, otherwise I'll stay clear. (A google search came up with nothing - not even bad experiences)

If they are shipped from USA don't forget that you will have to pay duty and Vat on top of the quoted price.

Make sure that the voltage is adjustable for UK mains too

Correct me if I am wrong but the address is http: (not https: ) and I can't see a padlock on my browser window. That is enough to put me off.

Also happy to be proved wrong, but most sites are non secure until you get to the checkout -who would hack what items you are buying?

Mind you a google of their name throws up that the site was only registered on the 15th of June this year...!

So it seems they have just started out, is this a honey trap site?

Any one brave to try using paypal for payment?
For me the Logitech stuff is very tempting at their prices!

glad to see some people are interested in this site... I am hoping one of you will be my guinea pig.
Have to admit, I didn't think about plugs... should be easy enough just to replace the 2 pin with a 3 pin... but I'll have to check about voltage - usually these things work all over right?

Even at 50% duty, it would still be a bargain I think.

So only started at 15th June, but says copyright 2007?? sounds a bit dodgy

They don't actually accept paypal, and the only payment option is claimed to be with authorize.net ... I have emailed authorized.net to check their affiliation... and will update when I hear back from them...

Come on users of this site, speak up! I want to get buying!

Why did you think they were American?
Take a look at the "about us bit", their address is:

Burlington House Crosby Road, Liverpool L22 0PJ , United Kingdom

I really can not call this?

The website is owned by someone in America and has only been online for a month and the currency is GPB so it obviously hasn't been proof read by a Brit

Caveat emptor

For heaven's sake, guys, stop risking your cash by penny pinching for a few quid with unknown (and in this case obviously dubious) sites and buy from someone reputable.

I did just that. I created a bogus account to see if I could get the padlock to appear. I couldn't. And since I couldn't, I was pretty happy that I hadn't given them any of my personal detail.
