Not entirely dreaming, maybe just a nap dream.

These products are all close out or previous year stuff, this site could have bought them as a close out from the vendor or gotten them at a liquidators from retail or somewhere else. My guess would be liquidators, I don't think the vendors would like seeing this stuff on the web open like this.

Personally, I'd stay away. You'd have to sell this stuff at a lower price because of the current markdowns on this stuff in retail web sites and/or brick and motar stores. Could make some cash on certain products, but other would be a legacy buy as we say in the business. Do some research on the products first to see if they will be profitable, you can't just throw out product with pricing out of your arse.

Would love to make money, as well as get a dozen of the sticks I want at almost a 3 or 4 for 1. But, doesn't look good -

Not sure they know much about hockey in Jakarta, but then again?!

I know it came up in the CrazyMonkey stick thread but... Who's planning to take the plunge?! I would, but not with my payment information!

If you can't find payment terms, shipping information or location of a company from their website, without registering personal information; it's a scam. The fact that the domain is registered in Jakarta makes it painfully obvious. The low prices are listed to sucker you in. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that people fall for this stuff.

The only thing on the contact us page is an email form. That smells like 99.9% scam. No phone number, no verification of a company, no way anyone should risk over $100. But if anyone has a corporate credit card and knows their company really well, call them up and ask about charge back safety on 2 grand...

They list x:60 skates for US$209.

This is a good example of "if it's too good to be true it probably is".

Hey I know a deposed African prince that will pay you a butt load of money if you help him get his money out of the country. All you need to do is provide your bank account number for him to transfer the money to. It's real and not a scam....just ask him he'll tell you so!

Or a divorcee who has a $10k truck to sell you on Craigslist for $2k. It's on the shipping dock ready to go and she's using Ebay to secure it, even though it's not posted for sale on Ebay.

If it sounds to good it probably is.

The Vapor RX:60 and Boss SE inline skates were made in extremely limited supply. They wouldn't be found in Jakarta, especially in the quantities they state you have to buy in.

Also, it's all high-end (high dollar) equipment. Nothing low or mid end.

The Mission Wicked Light is a Hockey Giant SMU.

The Warrior Bully Pro Gloves is a Monkey/World SMU.

As previously mentioned, it's a scam.
