Anyone ordered from deal4days? (xenoGC for $5)

Post by mat8888 » Sat May 25, 2013 5:48 pm

I'm tempted to buy this xenoGC for $5 but it doesn't accept PayPal so I'm wondering has anyone ordered from them before?

DO NOT order from deals4days...


it is a front site that takes your money, holds the money till they get enough similar orders to make their own bulk purchase of a product...This can take a few days, this can take a few weeks...then they send out the products...

...and they dont take paypal directly, you have to send the paypal payment somewhere else...


stay away from those kind of sites...

Okay, thx for the tip.

But it sounds like they are legit then? So if in the future, what if I ordered like 20 of them, then resold at $10? It would be double. Just an idea.
I PMed the guy selling them for $12 and am awaiting a reply.

Also, can anybody tell me why nobody is selling xenoGC on eBay.com? You'd think someone would. I wonder what they would go for? Maybe when I'm old enough to get an account, I'll try selling one to see how it goes. :P

ebay does not allow the listing of modchips and paypal doesnt approve of using their payment system for modchips...

Ohh that would be why. Darn!
They're not illegal right? Then you should be able to sell them. =S

Anyway I figured what the hey, it's only $4, so since I didn't hear back from the other guy who's selling, I went ahead and bought one.

If it takes too long to get here,I can always buy from the forum and resell the other one right? You could mail it for like 45 cents in a letter envelope.

edit: ok, so after I submitted my order, it just said "Waiting" after submitting my CC info. So I checked with my online statements, and deal4days charged me $4.60, so I figured the order went through. However, the order said "Unpaid." I figured it would say it was payed the next day, but it didn't. I tried emailing them, they didn't respond, it's been like 2 days.

So I just sent a dispute with my credit card, hopefully I will get my money back. I would not recommend this website. Perhaps it was an honest mistake [glitch,] or perhaps this is how the website always works. Here's to hoping I can get a xenoGC from the Marketplace here.

sometimes they are legal, sometimes they're not. it's the greyzone but speaking of the gamecube we've definetly reached a time where nobody gives a shit anymore. except for ebay & paypal.
please search before you ask - a lot has been discussed already!
(or use google with "site:gc-forever.com *term*")

Well I used a prepaid Visa card so it won't be any good in another month or so. =P
Also I successfully got my money back from my banks prepaid Visa card site. I did have to fax in a forum, but I used an online service to send a PDF fax, and I got it back the next day.

I bought a xenoGC from the marketplace here, it should arrive this week as it was shipped yesterday.
