Ok, so I found this site that sells wholesale electronics called ElecStreet. It says you can purchase an unlocked SGS II Epic 4G Touch for $202.50 at the lowest "VIP" price.
I need to know if this looks legit or if anyone has purchased merchandise from this site.
The site also says if you buy two items and spend over $400, you get a free iPod Touch or Sony PSP. ???
Please feel free to investigate!

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Yep.
On the bottom, their "certifications" stickers are not clickable to verify, which they should be. And their one "Verify" button points to some Chinese website.
Fake. Not a Doubt

I can tell you that they are a China based company. That being said I know nothing else about them, and everything they sell looks in now way legit AT ALL.
For example:
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2485
That is an Apple iMac MC814LL/A for $399(359.10 VIP according to them) That is a $2000 Apple computer. No way in hell a company even at wholesale would ever be able to sell that computer for even their non-VIP price.
They also advertise
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2454
That is a Sony VAIO Z Series VGN-Z591U which retails for $3200-$3400 and they want under $400 for it. Not even possible to obtain it for that price, even if they got it straight from the Sony factory.
My official statement is they are going to take your money and hide in their country, and you will be forced to dispute the claim with your bank.
Yeah don't do it bro. You will send money to them and u wont see anything.

Bogus! Like posted above the "verifed " icons should be clickable and lead you to said website verifying the website. Those icons either do nothing or lead to china crap!

i just might buy one!
if you do decide to buy one from here, use paypal. your protected. if you dont get your order you file a claim and if its bogus, paypal will investigate and refund you your purchase amount.
this is why i buy crap on ebay from china sellers. if its a fake phone you get, you also get a refund because they are advertising it as legit. take a screen shot of the page before you buy.

I have found that they are a real Trading company in China, they have a phone number, physical address and live chat support that is not automated or a bot.
The live chat person said that PayPal was not available until AFTER the first purchase which is through Western Union.
I can't find any bad reviews or customers saying it is a scam or that they had an issue with the site.
I just don't know.
Ummm hello! That yells you right there, pay by western union, lmao! I hate for you to lose your money, but I won't feel bad for you as there are plenty of people warning you!
Once you pay via western union then you can use paypal, LOL that is a good one!!!

The thing is, they told me I can't use PayPal until after being a return customer, with that being said, they want me to send a Western Union payment to a Zhen Zhang?
I just don't trust it...
Oh, and the reason you don't see bad reviews is they will burn that site out in a week, change a few pics and make a new site. They post on craigslist all the time, same crap!

damn! that certainly makes it an inconvenience. paypal was the clincher for me. if you do buy it, let us know how it works out. i can wait. i might wait to buy one until cm7 is available for it.

the sketchy part is the western union. i mean, the whole site is sketchy, but paypal is safe. if you have to do western union first then i wouldnt do it. you might be able to check with paypal to see if they have any complaints against the site.

well, just for kicks i tried to follow through with a purchase. when i chose to check out with paypal it took me back to a list of their payment methods.

Has anyone received it yet after submitting their imei information? Just curious on how long it takes for it to get approved and how long after you actually get the coupon code
Sent from my 2PS64 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Where do you go to submit it?
I guess its again US/UK only, because HTC never introduced any type of deal for the rest of the world.
I saw that they opened it up to orders from their site as well, starting yesterday 8/2. I bought mine last week, so I submitted my info anyway, we'll see if I get anything. It'd be nice to pick up a couple extra quick chargers!
they said to wait 2-3 weeks, it just came out the other day didn't it?

well, I guess this doens't apply to us who bought straight from htc huh? unlocked on whichever carrier we went with...and apparently within that time frame of july 12-31
still submitted my info though
HTC's site is very vague on this. Right on their homepage, it says $100 off the phone AND $100 off accessories. The "and" isn't ambiguous, in my opinion. But on another page on their site, it says "or $100 off accessories if you bought elsewhere".
Has anybody contacted HTC to get clarification on this?
http://www.htc.com/us/
Promo for US customers is on their website front page. $100 off and $100 credit when purchasing on HTC.com.

Perhaps you need some refresher courses in English. The wording is clear about the offer in question. It states that if you buy the device on htc.com, you get $100 off the price of the device as well as $100 towards accessories. It also states that if you bought the device elsewhere, like from a carrier, you only qualify for the $100 accessories promo.

Perhaps htc needs help with English because many people are saying they couldn't get both.
To me it said, in the fine print, I can get both but must activate on t-mobile, sprint or Verizon. Since I'm going at&t I guess not me, huh?
Maybe I should activate on my current Verizon plan first then before switching?

So, you need to:
Buy the device from the 3 US providers outlined above OR any authorized reseller (HTC.com purchases in US seems to be sold by Digital River)
Activate it on the 3 US providers (I assume by installing the SIM card on T-Mo or activating for Spring and VZW)
Submit the form before Sep 18
So I wonder.. How long do I need to be on Verizon to qualify? Certainly interesting if it's an easy $100 but I'd much prefer to be switched over to AT&T sooner than later so maybe I shouldn't mess around..
HTC just announced free jbl reflect aware USB C headphones + 100 coupon on accessories when you purchase the phone directly from them. The jbl sell for 200.

It seems early adopters are getting shafted as we paid the same and only got a $2 USB cable as "thanks". Now they're giving away $300 in stuff. Never again HTC, never again. I wanted to keep giving them chances, but it seems they don't care.

Early adopters always get shafted. That's what happens. When has a product not decreased in price six months after release?
You can buy a new Nexus 6P for $400 now. Did the people who spent $500+ get shafted?
And I doubt anybody is going to pay $199 for those headphones. Unless the reviews end up being amazing.
Early Adopters are not "shafted".
You got to use a beautiful and fast phone for 3+ months before any of the later adopters got to. You can be a "late adopter" as well and watch while everyone else gets the latest and greatest. Its a small price to pay to be "ahead" of the game.

I agree. I held out till the end of July just to get it cheaper. Sucked waiting but in the end I got it for 50$ US with a two year contract upgrade. I will be never purchasing an LG flagship ever again. HTC has never disappointed me.

Hi, Do we know if amazon.in will have exchange offer on OP5T?
What deals have you found so far?
1) Rs. 1500 instant discount on using HDFC Credit/Debit cards
2) Rs. 1000 (I think) off if a OnePlus member refers you
3) Rs. 1000 crefit to buy accesories if you pre-order
Don't know if these can be used concurrently though.

It *can* be clubbed with an exchange offer, provided the bill amount after exchange credit is at least Rs. 15,000.

Hi - I've got a two parter -
Is it possible to return my pre-ordered Note 10+ in order to purchase a different model and keep my $150 promo certificate? (I have not received the email with the code)
Samsung claims they need to have my trade in by Sep 5th. Does that mean that it just needs to be scanned into the UPS/Fed Ex system by Sep 5th?
Thanks
