Is this a liable place?

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry but I'm brand new to the forums and I'm also brand new to possibly buying a mac. I've been searching around and found this posting on link removed
I cannot tell if this is a legit place. I emailed the address provided and somebody emailed me back with a rather rude email about how they are a legit company. Has anyone worked with this company or heard anything from it?
I would appreciate anybody's say.:D

I'd say you're liable to lose any money you send them.

Exactly how do you think any legitimate company can sell you a brand new anything for half what those buying at wholesale have to pay for it?

While post count on a forum doesn't always guarantee success - never, ever give your money to someone who's first and only post on a forum has every brand of whatever it is you're looking for and at half what you can find it for anywhere else. Unless that is, you like flushing your money down a deep dark hole.

edit: and btw, I am referring to the op's link which was on another forum and was a spam post there, that are either allowed or had not yet been removed by the mods there.

I appreciate your insight! I will not be going to that site anymore. And those for telling the mods. I'm not trying to post their products, I was just curious. Thanks for your time and if you don't mind, I might be asking you a few more questions because I'm brand new to thisand I like your honesty!
Thanks for your time again,
Zach
