I'm not sure which forum this should go in so please move if you must. I just wanted to get the word out about these shady retailers:

Avoid this Retailer at all costs
Posted by Brad on Sunday, November 25 2007 - 18:41PM

Just a heads up for anyone who might shop with them. I ordered a pair of LCD TopGuns using their Price Guarantee as stated below:

      Best Price Guarantee
      At ConsoleShop.com you will never pay more - guaranteed!

      To show you just how confident we are in our prices, we offer you a Best Price Guarantee. Find a lower price offered by any on-line retailer, and we will give you that price MINUS 5%. This means, if you found any website offering a specific product cheaper than ConsoleShop.com, you will get it from us at a price 5% lower than advertised there (shipping not included).

      To place a Best Price Guarantee Order, please click on the Best Price Guarantee link found at any product page.
      Upon receipt of your order, we will immediately verify the offer. If verified we will automatically deduct 5% from the price and ship the product to you. If the price at the specific Website does not match the one you entered at the BPG form, you will not be charged and your order will be canceled!

      If you have already placed your order and found a lower price for the product(s) you ordered, please email support@consoleshop.com within 1 week after the date of your order and we will charge back the price difference plus 5% of the products price.
      Please provide the exact link for the item and also the price.

      ConsoleShop.com



48 hours later I received the following:

      Dear customer,

      thank you for your mail. As we currently have too many reg. orders for that item, we are not accepting b.p. orders at the moment.

      Thank you for your understanding.

      Regards,

There is no mention of this anywhere in their Terms and Conditions nor is it stated or implied anywhere else on the website. Talk about shady deals. I would avoid this retailer at all costs as it's apparent they use deceptive sales tactics. The only thing upside is that they at least did not process my order. I do however have some minor concerns about them having my credit card number and will be watching my statements like a hawk.

Gee, who would think a company that sold stuff to help rip off games wouldn't be reputable?

I just know that they're a very popular internet shop and would steer as many people as possible away from them
