Re: guns 4 pennies
Wow, what a scam!!
Carver is right - there ain't no free lunch!
I remember some years ago a friend at work gave me the web address of a place that gave 100% rebates on purchases from their on-line store. They handled all kinds of electronics, and the listed prices were WAY above normal retail. I told him I did not believe this could be legit, but he said he knew guys that had bought stuff from them, and about four weeks later they would get their full purchase price back in the mail!
Being sold on the above addage, I bought nothing from them, but this guy and several others at work did. They paid well over retail for a bunch of stuff, then waited for their 100% refund.
Then one day the web-site ceased to be on the net.
Then we read about it in the news - the outfit was a Ponzi scheme, using money from the excess prices paid by new purchasers to give the 100% refunds to the older purchasers until they had a very large 'float' of people who overpaid for the merchandise, then they took the money and skipped - -
My friends at work all got the merchandise, but never got the refunds. They paid about 50% OVER what they could have bought their items for elsewhere, all because they wanted to get them free.
I will stick to Amazon, Sam's Club, and other businesses I KNOW who charge a fair price for quality merchandise.
