HV 40 from Skypointdigital.com

Postby mark hansen » Sun Nov 29, 2009 9:26 pm

we are looking into getting a HV 40 at Sly Point digital (.com). Does anyone out there have any experience with Sky point digital?

They are selling a HV 40 with various packages from $512 to $859 with varous accessories.

Here is your answer Mark.

Just Google skypointdigital, lots of info on what a scam they are.

Be careful of websites that have ridiculously low prices. Most of them will sell you the product and then tell you they are out of stock. Then they try to sell you something even more expensive or end up giving you a cheaper item at the same price. Many people have been taken by these sharks and never get their money back.

Be careful ;)

I bought my HV40 from Dell for $799, you can trust them and companies like Amazon, NewEgg, Tiger Direct, and B&H.

I buy lots of things over the web but I never, ever buy anything from a website where the contact details are hidden and the only method of contact is by their usually supplied e-mail address.

Not entirely failsafe, I agree, but I would never, ever even contemplate buying an expensive item from any website that didn't detail a physical (street) address and contact phone number applicable to that area.

Here is a good site to run these scam sites through:

http://www.resellerratings.com/


And a few things to watch for:

They are generally based out of NJ. (Although there are plenty of legit businesses based out of NJ too.)
They are not open on Sat and Sun.
They generally have a picture of some sales rep with a headset.
Their prices are unbelievably low.
I wish I were creative enough to write something witty here.
