If the seller is based in china or the product is not fulfilled by Amazon let the buyer beware he may have to wait/fight for his money back, and the likelihood of it shipping is slim to none.

Should people not order from this seller?
It's never going to show up, and you may have a difficult time getting your money back from Amazon, being as the estimated arrive by date isn't for another month and a half. It's a 100% scam. Feel free to order at your own discretion, but do so with your eyes open.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I believe it needs to be shipped and sold by Amazon to behind with.

Plus they just don't give these PM's without having some investigating.

Not so simple
They don't price match sellers from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? How could they do that?

It's a real shame... I'll put in the request for them to look into it. :)

Sounds like one can list an item on Amazon for the price he wants to buy it from staples and then calls staples and asks for a PM? What's the catch there?

If you're not "Amazon.com" how would you achieve this?

I didn't even say "fulfilled"

"Amazon"  itself has to have the price different

Staples.com will price match prices at select competitors' websites and Staples' retail stores. These select competitors are: Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Dell, Hewlett Packard, Office Depot, Office Max, Quill, Medical Arts Press, Reliable, Sam's Club, Wal–mart, WB Mason and Xerox. Items must be sold and shipped by one of these competitors.

The item must be in stock and available for purchase at that price from an authorized U.S. reseller, whose authorization we reserve the right to verify.

Should people not order from this seller?
If they're offering the world for $1, think twice.

It would really take a stupid person to sell such a thing, he can only sell one of these before going out of stock!  ;)
 (unless he sells all the planets separately) .Lol

For all those who really made a purchase, why not buy the mount from the same seller for such a great price, and you will even get the mount and the TV in one delivery, what could be better!  ::).

Even if they would price match, they usually don't rely on screenshots, and they would have to verify themselves, and by that time, the store would be shut down...

I even sent an email to Amazon about dgB*n*nu, and they assured me that it's not a scam.

Of course, by now it's all gone, as will everything from this new gilgul be gone tomorrow.

It depends how you look at it. If you buy scratch off lottery tickets, then you can also do this. You know you're gonna lose your money, but your buying the chance to dream! ::)
