Never ordered from them myself. But it seems to be associated in some way with a member here. OldSchoolFool (sp?)
Seems legit to me, though the DAS used everywhere gets annoying.

No dude, don't buy from DasCheap.com. Check around online. This Oldskoolfool :devilish:, guy is a scammer from NY and I wouldn't give him my credit card info if my life depended on it. Back in December before I knew this fraudster from NY was behind the operation and against my better judgement, I used Paypal to order something (retrogen). Needless to say it was never sent, no responses, nor replies to my email. Then when I finally got contact from him ONLY during a PayPal dispute I get the ole "I was just going to send it out."ROFL LOSER! ..PayPal is easy enough to get my money back as I did but imagine you have to change your crddit cards and all,... pain in the arse... And fully expect on here a half-witted response from Oldskoolfool, ranting :2gunfire: like a burnt out wrestler doing a promo about How his disgressions are somehow my fault. Google Oldskoolfool and you will see what I'm talking about.

Who are you, exactly? You joined the forums just to post that rant, so how do we know you're not a competitor?

OldSkoolFool is a member here, but only posted things regarding clone systems. I have never ordered anything from them, but StoneAgeGamer did say some pretty nasty things about him.

Devil's advocate, there's a difference between a bad experience with a poorly run retail operation and a "scam".

And I'm not even saying that Dascheap.com is actually poorly run from personal experience since I haven't personally ordered anything from them.

And while I can't comment on their quality or reliability - it seems to me that OldSkoolFool, if he is directly affiliated with the site, has a level of "web presence" that somebody looking to operate a "scam" probably wouldn't want.

Just because you had a bad experience with late shipping on one item doesn't mean that the entire site is a "scam".

Agreed, but Oldskoolfool is running it and if you look into his name a little online you will see the tirade of costumers that have either been scammed, misled or genuinely don't like his arrogant NY car salesman attitude. He's a gaming fan no doubt. But honest businessman?? I say nay, stay away.
