Too good to be true?

23 Replies, 18278 Views

After falling in love with the Tokyo Ginza line 2000 twin set, I searched all over the Internet for the best prices...$118 was the lowest I found on Amazon, $150 was the lowest on eBay, with a high of nearly $200...
Then I found this site:
Ridiculously low...way too good to be true? We soon shall see.
Since it allowed me to use PayPal I took a chance and ordered it.
Fingers are crossed!!

Is this a store Muddy or an agent? Are there fees or you buy direct? How was the shipping cost? It looks like they are based in Taiwan, better hope they ship yours before China invades them. Big Grin

It's an online store...shipping was $25.
Total came to $62.29.
I realize it's way too low to seem legit, but if PayPal wants to guarantee it, I'll take the chance!Smile

That actually looks to be the regular retail price when the set was released back in 2011 at least according to what it says at Hobby Search. Great find Muddy

Nevermind...I figured it out.
I'm guessing it was really too good to be true? A 'thought we had stock but we don't' situation?
Nope...amazingly to my surprise quite the contrary...They sent an email notification this evening and apparently it has been shipped!!
Along w/ a USPS tracking # and an estimated delivery time of 5-7 days.
Trying to not get my hopes too high...still a long way to go.

Wait...they gave you a USPS Tracking number??? or is it an International Customs number? Hmmm, might they have a US Warehouse? Curious to see where the package is 'From' once it arrives. My fingers are crossed for you that this is all legit which looks like it is.

Yes it's weird... I thought EMS and USPS were different, but when I click the EMS shipping button on the site, it takes me to USPS site, and the tracking number registers it as shipped.

Update: Package has cleared U.S. Customs @11:50am and is in route..
