This site for real? or a scam?

http://spice-electronics.com/

Go to there video game consoles, they have a 360 20ig priced at $194 and the PS3 is for $322. Those are some low prices and makes me wonder if this site is just a big scam or they really are selling them that cheap. All there video game stuff is rather cheap.

not sure the shipping comes up free too, I have a suspicion they aren't too legit though it looks like European stuff, and they don't have an address or contact number anywhere on the site (means it can't have a secure certificate as they require it to get one)

I HIGHLY doubt those are U.S models. There is no way I would send them my money.
Actually I take that back, I think they are legit. Buy a PS3 from them and tell us how it goes.

Did a little looking around.. definatly a scam.

"Yes, I was a victim...I bought a camera from spice-electronics.com because of their really low price. I sent them two emails...no response from them. I figured that it was most likely a scam, so I called my credit card company and canceled the card before they get the chance to charge it. I ended up buying my camera from somewhere else. More expensive but definitely worth it. Please don't buy from this company. It's a scam! oh and you're right, they deleted my account also"

"I just ordered a camera there. However, I felt that it was a scam so I called my credit card company and canceled the card. I sent them two emails...I haven't gotten any response from them. Also, the zip code they provided is also for IN not IL...that's pretty fishy to me. I ended up ordering my camera from somewhere else. 50 bucks more expensive but i'd rather pay more than getting scammed!"

"Personally I am very skeptical about this company. They only registered their domain name a few days ago, which isn't too bad, but they only registered it for a year, which is very uncommon for a business. If you do a search on their domain registration information you will find that a lot of scamming websites use this same thing. It is a privacy registration from Yahoo domains that allows you to prevent spam emails by registering with basically fake information. Given that they do not have any information to contact them outside of an email and an address, and they are specifically hiding any other form of contact, I would be very wary of purchasing anything from them."
