PLEASE STOP, saying it's too good to be true, and "a scam"! I just ordered 7 bags of magic beans, just wait and see. I can't wait to see your comments after I receive them! And it is free shipping, (within a 5 mile radius of Beijing). So take that you naysayers!
Have a great day,
Ray.

GM vehicles may be not so good but their prices are not any lower than the competitors.

I had a 2001 Silverado truck 1500 that only had 95,000 miles that had so much rust you couldn't even replace a emergency brake cable. Motor and trans always maintained and got $400 for scrap metal value. Never again. Never went off road with it

Please, please watch the video and be both entertained and shocked and determined to pass on the information to potential scam victims. Mark Rober is trying hard to deal with criminals who have bilked moolah from millions of unsuspecting seniors for almost three decades.

I refer to these many items that one sees on Facebook, such as "we are overstocked/going out of business/feeling generous" ads offering a new CANON or NIKON camera with 3 lenses, 2 batteries, 2 memory cards, tripod, bag etc for $99 !!! Is there anything to this ?? or is it some kind of come on, and how does it work?

What I don't understand is why any sane person would even have to ask this question

What I don't understand is how you got to be an Old Coot without ever developing a sense of humor. I grew a Gray beard and laughed all the way.

To all: the comment ‘a cockroach in Harlem’

This is not a nice expression - has the ring of a racist comment!

It always amazes me how many people believe in a free lunch.
