Alibaba

Has anyone here tried Alibaba.com? i just stumbled on their site and put in motherboards and **** theres a lot on there just no prices.

From our experience, 99.9% scams.

I think Alibaba was known for hanging out with 40 thieves.

Totally true. I had a guy from there who said he had 30,000 metric tonnes of motherboards for sale at £1,500 per tonne. He said the motherboards were in the UK, and that I would have to pay via Western Union to inspect them. If I wanted to buy them the inspection fee would be deducted from the purchase price. They didn't take cash or card, just western union.

Only a snip at £1,500 for the inspection fee. They also had 9,000 metric tonnes of pentium pro processors at £200 per metric tonne.

What about that.

I am not racist but am a Red Neck.
These guys scam the new entrepreneurs thinking they know a guys that knows a guy kind off deal. Nigeria, enough said....

I'm leaving Alibaba's reply to this thread, since it seems to me as a reply to previous comments rather than advertising. I am locking the thread, though, to avoid further " back and forth".
