Alienware for cheap (Skeptical)

Even though the specs are vaguely descripted I would be skeptical too, it's either someone posting low prices to avoid taxes and fees or it's an scam. I googled the model and it was about 2000 or 3000 dollars depending on configuration when bought new, but it's also out of stock everywhere so it must be pretty old. However, by its 660m GPU I can tell it can't be more than 2 years old (2012).

DO NOT order it, that site has lots of deals that seem too good to be true, and they probably all are just that.
Example: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-game-graphics-graphic-card-video-card-GTX770-2G-GDDR3-384bit-independent-video-card/1934293232.html
The specs do not match a GTX 770, and well, just read what is written on the site:
The store launched the high-end GTX770 2G memory, after several days of stress testing, to ensure not to spend the screen does not halt, dear who received the goods immediately can copy machine a few days of testing, there is any quality problem we assume freight help you to exchange or refund! Honesty is the most precious wealth, please rest assured dear!

Thanks guys I found another for $10. That is really dirt cheap. I am going to order it with a credit card. If I'm not satisfied it says that they will refund me and ship it back so I'm going to order the $10 one and see if it is not a scam..

23 days delivery is a big NO.
A few days processing, a few more days of delay tactics and your 30 day window of getting your money back is gone.
Or they could ship you a plastic fork and they have delivery confirmation.
There have been a lot of complaints of graphics cards listed as 760 or 770's that are old stock GT9600 with a flashed bios.
My wife tried ordering a few clothing items that were never shipped. Cost her $70 dollars to find out their money back guarantee is useless. They kept telling her the item has shipped with China post tracking numbers until the 30 days were up and then she could not get a refund because the seller no longer existed. And the 30 day limit on the credit card had passed.
The $10 to us is nothing. But to people in China etc... it can amount to a weeks wages.
