Anyone know if a site like this is legit?
http://telawei.en.made-in-china.com/...rokee-XJ-.html

If so, anyone wanna go in on a group buy?

A $12 snorkel set kinda scares me honestly.

I've bought chinese scooter parts before and have had my credit card ripped of twice. Not saying that it's going to happen with this company but be cautious if you do get a group to buy some.

Look guy, no reason to start a pissing match over this. Honestly I'd love to be able to buy all American made products, but financially speaking it's just not an option for most people. With such a large discrepancy in pricing it's hard for people to justify buying domestic products.

I've seen this ploy before, did you notice how they dont tell you how much it is to ship? Theres been several threads here about guys getting ripped off by trying to go cheap. You get what you pay for, and if the deal seems too good to be true, its probably a scam. That link you provided screams scam to me.

Shipping is the unknown depends on total bought vs shipping but I'm willing to get in if the price is right.

Chine does by stuff from us..if you haven't noticed we don't make lots of stuff anymore. And if usa company did charge 300 bucks for one. Maybe I would buy a usa one.

Yeah they're all really 100+ bucks. But yeah I mean it all really depends on the shipping cost.

Yeah they're still like 200 or less with shipping and that half or less than a safari brand one.
