http://www.newtheshop.com which has some equipment very cheap and was wondering if anyone has come across this and made a purchase. In this day and age I’m a skeptic when I come across something like this. If this is legit, wow, you can have top equipment very cheap.
Thank you Longshadow for quick reply. The unrealistic prices made me skeptical about this.

You're welcome.
I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
I would be very cautious. Reading through the FAQs and shipping information there are a lot of grammatical errors. That is a red flag to me!
Also, take note that the ONLY brand that they are "scamming" is Canon, not Nikon, nor Fuji, Sony, Sigma, etc..
Note that a Canon EOS 5D MARK III is only $173.82, "what a bargain", eh ? Is it assembled, or is assembly required?

Yeah, if it sounds too good to be true, it’s probably not.

Yep! Looks like a scam. Usually they are based in Nigeria, Mumbai, China, Russia but can be anywhere. This one looks like from China.
It is not a valid top domain site according to ICANN (the umbrella organization for domain names) so must be re-directing to some other parent site.

Don't do it!!! Everything in their FAQ's sound strange. Read close and every answer sounds like a scam. Wait to long, reorder if error happens, use another card. BS for sure. We all would love to buy at these prices. Stay away. Thanks

Difinately would not even think of purchasing anything for this person. It's most likely a scam or stolen merchandise. Best place to by camera equiptment is from a trusted source or a camerashop.
A $2000.00 camera for $185.00??? I would run as far, as fast as I could from them.
Alas, they do not accept PayPal... well perhaps it would be delivered in person by one of the virgins who use to advertise on Craigslist.

They are using a service to hide their identity, so that should tell you a lot.
Also no phone #, only contact is thru email.
Stay far, far away from this site, nothing good is going to happen there.
