No.

It's usually a website where you've got to sign up for lots of advertising promotions and spend money on those and jump through hoops... sometimes you need to sign up other friends... then you stand a minute chance of getting your gun for cheap.

Don't do it.

[tru_flip56]

all right than...thanks a lot for the info.

[BerSerK]

I'm not sure but I think that's the way it works.

if you subscribe you have to enroll 3 people to do the same and then they have to enroll people until you finally get your marker...some pyramidal thing.

I would like to hear from someone who already tried it too.

Ricker, that reminds me of something I wrote in response to a Myspace message I got from some random user a couple months ago...

Did anyone tell you that you are ridiculously good looking? As the matter of fact I have a project that you would be perfect for. I was talking with Steve the model coordinator and thats when he told me about the new thing that Calvin Klein is putting out. We had a couple of drinks at club Paris and then proceeded to his place for a night cap. It didn't go quite as I had imagined, but I was able to get some facts on the casting, so you might have an in with them. Its with Lori Wyman casting in Miami, they are looking for fashion models for an upcoming line of cologne called Demue. If you would like to be submitted I will need your info. asap. Thanks, looking forfard to working with you.

Hmmm...

Dear (myspacer),
Hello! Yes, in fact I have been called incredibly good looking, by males and females alike. And a few I wasn't so sure about, as well. Unfortunately, my current political situation does not allow me to visit your "Miami." My real name is Hakwanduclkwee Zilmbliickshoe, and I am a political refugee from South Guanaclechsoeksze in Africa. My father, who was the most prolific businessman in the country was killed by radicals last month when they overthrew the government. Currently, they are trying to freeze and seize my family's assets, which are quite sizeable, in excess of $100,000,000. It is by God's great fortune that my handsome yet pouty good looks have brought you to me on this great day. If you are willing to house my family's vastly sizeable assets in your bank account temporarily until I can relocate to North Guanaclechsoeksze, I guarantee that there will be a sizeable reward for you. If such a venture interests you, all I require is the necessary transaction fee of $5,000 and your bank account number. And nudie pics.

With humblest and most sincere thanks,
QFT

P.S. Sorry for the lack of spelling errors in this letter. I'm new at this Nigerian Email thing.
