This will be a hell of a find if it works. Not sure how they would be getting FE cards, they’re supposed to be a BB exclusive

And selling them for MSRP...

I couldn't help myself as well, though like I said, I pulled the trigger kind of by accident. When I hit the option to use google pay, the next page didn't ask for my shipping address, so I thought I had at least one more confirmation to go before the order went through. Next page thanked me for my order. Woops

Yeah I started to fill out the order info but didn't see a way to enter shipping info so just decided to forward the website to my friend and let him make the purchase. Do you have to call and give them the shipping info? Or is there a second field if you purchase with a CC?

You can still cart every card, I have no idea how they can possibly fulfill this. Fully expect a cancellation anytime.

---

Yeah I keep checking to see if they'll still let me add and so far they still do. Crazy. .

So, because I used google pay, I imagine it might be a bit different. In my "confirmation email" (for all the good that might end up doing :P) includes my billing address in it, which I assume is why they didn't ask for a shipping address.

For those who are flirting with rolling the dice, this is the message you get on the confirmation page after purchase:

Just gotta think the bots and resellers are balls deep in this too, so how many damn orders could they possibly have gotten? I’m curious what your order number is, mine started with a 26

---

As did mine.

I'm fairly high up in there as well, but who knows. Whole damned system might be fricked

Well there’s that then

It's possible this is kind of just flying under the radar for the moment. I'm not seeing anything for "mtech" in the buildapcsales subreddit, and I don't see any mentions on a fairly plugged in discord I sometimes spend time on.

Or, again, the whole thing is fricked

How bad am I about to get rear ended

Everything about the company looks legit, only reason I even tried, but I’m gonna be shocked if it works

If I’m out $750 for a few months, it’s not going to break me. I’ll get it back eventually.

But if this turned out legit and I missed it, I was going to be pissed

Why is the address a residential cul de sac? This PC repair shop out of a dudes home is selling all these cards msrp? ya ok.
