Lesson in life time:

Blackmarket is better dealt with in person using cash.

Lets use an example:
Joe goes out to score a bag of weed for the weekend. Does he:

A. Log on to the Internet and order from CYERWEED.com

B. Write a check or ake out purchase order for weed home delivery.

C. Psst - hey you neighbor, or old friend, or shady co-worker, do you know where I can score some good shiet?

You decide...

The website used to be www.electronic-deals.com and the seller claimed you were covered through www.secureshoppingnetwork.org. i have the whois listings from the sites.
its remarkable how it has changed to www.electronics-webshop.com (although he forgot to change the title page!) and safeshoppingnetwork.org.
the site went down quickly when i started asking for proof of safe shopping. he is a scammer!

This is so easy to see it's laughable.

You ever wonder how it's possible that the Black Market in Bulgaria got this new A-51m for LESS than AW can make it. Black Markets are not known to sell cheaper products (unless they are stolen). They are known to sell items at huge price increases. Because supply < demand, therefore the higher price. It's laughable that this guy has a A-51 at all.

You obviously don't have enough money to buy one from AW. That is how these guys sucker people. This guy is relying on your naivete and greed to draw you in. Remember these two cliches, "There is no such thing as a free lunch", "A fool and his money are soon parted". Don't be a fool and send this guy your money. If you do then someone should take all your money from you because you are not responsible enough to have any.

Do the smart thing. Just save your money and buy one from AW.

Goto Miami and steal one. Or deliver papers, take two fast food jobs. Mow lawns. Take Neighbors dogs for a walk.

Work hard man... er, I mean work smart.

How about just working hard to educate yourself so that you have a skill that someone will pay you money to practice (to practice that skill). Sounds like you have given up already. You can have one of these you just got to go out there and bust your ass to get one.

Take charge, Carpe Diem : Sieze the Day.

If you really want one thats not the attitude to have...

i mean just get a part time job.... say you work at a mcdonalds or bk or something after school or whatever forml iek 5-10 thats 25 hours a week at say 6$/hr.(not sure what minmum wage is these days) thats like 600$/month

if you save for liek 5 or 6 months you'd have your alienware...
