    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.

    Exclamation Do Not Buy From Dascheap.com - Scam!

    No dude, don't buy from DasCheap.com. Check around online. This Oldskoolfool , 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." 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 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.

    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.
