they for real or what? do they actually do this? personally i find this to be past hard to believe......even if it is true, they could squeeze far more than $15 for this kind of information...
has anyone ever tried them?

It's most likely part of a pyramid scheme. I'd stay away from it if I were you.

It's real, just not the way you think. I'm thinking they're all Matrix schemes. They work like this.

Bob pays
Sally pays
Tim pays
Jim pays
Julio pays
*BOB'S MARKER SHIPS*
Chris pays
*SALLY'S MARKER SHIPS*
And so on...

At least, that's my understand of how these things work. If you pay and no-one else does, you're screwed. Actually, the last 4 people to pay get screwed.

They work. A buddy on my team tried them one a couple of times. He got an Ion for somewhere around $120, and a Halo for $35. He was trying to get a new nitro tank on another, but they "sold out", so they sent him $100 worth of PMI Premium; he turned around and ebayed them and made something like $10 profit.

I'm still skeptical, but my team and I might all purchase something to make things go faster.

Why not we all pitch in between the price.Like a dollar a piece and then by alot of stuff for cheap and share the link to everyone and stuff or to the people that paid.

everyone paypal/mail one dollar to someone till we have $15, buy it, and PM the links to every member that asks for them (we dont want to spread it around or they miight get rid of the whole "sell it on ebay thing" and we dont want all of PBN to find out either....)

Yes, this is a fairly common scam. I believe it works similar to above, except more like this:
Bob pays
Sally pays
Tim pays
Jim pays
Julio pays
*BOB'S MARKER SHIPS*
Chris pays
Dom pays
Rick pays
Jesse pays
Wendy pays
*SALLY'S MARKER SHIPS*

I have never participated in one of these... endeavors... but they are very common, and it is obviously a scam. Think about it... If this guy selling the link to the site could buy the stuff att his price, why would he not buy a whole bunch of them and turn around to sell them?
not enough to convince you? ok... how about: Why is this site selling them for so low below market value? These aren't cheap guns, and I can almost guarantee that the prices listed by this guy are way way way below what the manufacturer sells them for to the DEALER.

This is a scam people... don't waste your money.

Also, on closer inspection of his auctions:
"Disclaimer: Due to new ebay users and to people who do not read the listing, refunds are unavailable, SORRY"
AND:
"No refunds or bid retractions if you didn't read the description BEFORE you bid!"

The only place you see these 'disclaimers,' is when the person is afraid that you will come back to complain about your lost money. ie. scams.

guys, I know of some of these sites if you want them. They might work, they might not. I can post them, but I think it constitutes scam/spam posting. If it is ok to post, I have links to three of four. I have never tried them, I am afraid to. Nobody buy this, I already have the info (which I got for free :D )

If a mod could confirm or deny allowance I will or will not post links



Think about it... If this guy selling the link to the site could buy the stuff att his price, why would he not buy a whole bunch of them and turn around to sell them?

I bet he will when he gets them, it can suposedly take months. He is trying to get people underneeth him to "boost the line." Nonetheless I know of three of these sites and will not use them because
