This company price gouges, especially during Christmas time. They buyout hot items from chain stores and hold on to them until they can make as much as possible when people cant find them locally. When an item begins to sell, the price will be raised and adjusted multiple times (even on the same day) to take as much from their "valued customers" as possible. They intentionally advertise pre-order items that they know they will be unable to get just to bring traffic to the site, and also in the hopes that the customer will substitute for an item the company does have. I repeat: They advertise items they know they will not get, making customers wait months and months for items that are not coming. They get away with this by not charging the customer, however, it is advantageous for them to do this because they bring traffic to the site, and many people after months of exasperation just substitute for something else, (very often it is a grandmother or a parent buying something for their grandkids or kids) and they just order something their kid probably does not want.
The most galling thing this company does is pay buyers to buy products from Toys R Us and other big chains and hold on to them until Christmas time and then mercilessly jacks up the price when customers cannot find the items at their local retail stores. This company does a host of things that are not only unethical but sometimes bordering on illegal. Most of the merchandise they get is second rate and their spend a lot of time and effort taking photos of their items and then substantially altering and editing the images to make them look like a lot better than they actually are. This may be illegal, and if it isn't then it should be. This company has in place numerous technical policies that are set up to confuse people and stick them with unforeseen charges. Stay away.
