Impossible at that price. If you do even receive a product it will be a counterfeit Chinese model.

The posted prices tell the answer to that in bold print.

Um...no.
Not sure what the scam is, but remember the old saying “if it seems too good to be true, it probably is”

I sell Taylors for $250 but I include your choice of the George Washington or Oakland Bay bridge. This is a fine value folks. My waiting list is filling up. Act now to avoid delay!

Yes, legit. Legit fakes.

I never understand how these are allowed to exist. I guess if they get shut down, they just change the name and pop back up again.

Sounds good ... but I bet the shipping charges are sky high.

Love the text of their return policy:

2.refund policy

According to the "Consumer Rights Protection Law", online shopping consumers are considered to be hesitant within 7 days (including 6 days, national holidays) from the date of receipt of the goods, but the hesitation period is not a trial period, especially based on information. The product (online course) involves copyright. When you use the course, including: login to the learning website, we are unable to process the return for you. Please return according to our application to ensure your rights. After receiving your return request, Customer Service will check it. If you meet the return conditions, please contact customer service to inform the refund process. Description of the return policy:

Full blown scam.

Searching the email address associated with that site yields multiple security alerts and nonexistent URLs. The warnings don't have to be specifically related to him. They're probably the sites he chooses to sell or advertise on, but they spell bad news.

You know, for less than $100 I might just give it a whirl. Sure, it's a gamble, but what's not in this life?

If nothing else, if something actually shows up, it might be a nice wall hanger.

Maybe it's time to finally get that SJ-200!
