Hi, has anyone ever used this site? Are they reliable? Legitimate? I want to buy the HTC One M8 from them, so I'm just making sure.

Thanks.

They are very vague with their address, also they give a cellphone number as the office number, I suspect it might be a one man band.

Give the number a call, and ask them if you can come collect and pay at the premises. I wouldn't risk paying upfront.

Strange address - Pickering Centre, Pickering Street. Doesn't ring any bells with me, ask which avenues they're between.

Looks dodgy.
I would insist on collection in a query with them. If they dont want you to collect directly then run a mile.

seems dodgy, they've since removed all their adverts from Bid or Buy. Also, the price of the phone was R6500 on their listing on BoB but R7300 on their website. Too much of a difference.
