VOODOO 3 3000 for $11.00 Hurry

[pennypinch]

Ya know, that brings up a good point. I think babyback ribs should be legal tender. I mean, like, what's a shady deal for a Voodoo3 worth? One slab. How about a new PIII 1G? About 40 slabs. It makes much more sense than this crazy dollars and cents thing... http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif

[legend]

My first post but a great buy!

[intrepid342]

Don't you find it a little strange that the same card but with NO tv-out sells for $100.38 more than this one? Could it be...a misprint?

[CiViC]

I think i'm gonna order this one for the hell of it...it'd suck if they charge me full price, I really don't need a videocard, but it's an awesome deal at $11.00....

[CiViC]

Ummm...what's with the payment options? I don't see anything for a credit card (just bidpay, paypal, or money order as forms of payment)...shipping's dirt cheap too, at $4.73 for me, ups ground.

[Justin42]

Hrm, you gotta pay with PayPal.. this is a bit spotty but given as it's only $26 for the 2 I ordered I'll risk it.. hell, I've lost almost that much via Rhinopoint!! http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/wink.gif

Hopefully if it's bogus they'll just re-credit the account.. we shall see! (definitely a typo)

[CiViC]

For $15, I don't care what it is, as long as it works...i'll probably throw it on eBay if i'm lucky enough to get it though.

yeah, it could be a misprint, or typo, just like the voodoo5 for $165. Scrolling down a bit i saw the the voodoo3 with no TV out for $111.28, too. very odd. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/nodandoon/10664.html

maybe its a system pull? or maybe a refurb?

But of course im going to try this again, heh heh!

[hockman96]

I just ordered from them...and they only charge you the $11.00 per/voodoo. They ask you to pay throu paypal.com or some other thing...no straight credit cards. I hope this goes through =)

Yeah, but how do you use PayPal? I just entered my Visa credit card number since I didn't know if it was just their site that was messed up (well, i mean, i do know it's messed up, with that MISPRINT and all http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/biggrin.gif )

That was dumb of me, entering my credit card number and all...oh well, good thing I didn't use my visa debit card, I could've been screwed...

Bah, you know this isn't going to work..

plus, the paypal and the like systems are all crap.. can't even use a web certificate. Like I'm ever going to give my BANK account information out.. at least credit cards have protections...

[big mi]

hey people check this out.. http://www.msnbc.com/news/434192.asp?0nm=-12P&cp1=1
I ordered one too..but i think i'm going to call my C/C company and put a block to it...
too risky

[AJ]

from what was on that thread, it looks like a scam to me......

[skyjuice]

i ordered one and got suckered into paying the higher shipping cause commercial is set at default and i didnt even look at it. DAMN! 7 dollars instead of 4- I quickly through my CC info in there and went to paypal to sign up. I think you need papy pal for this one. Not sure-it asks for CCinfo-I will be calling my banl in the morning however.

[pennypinch]

If the vendor got suspended from Ebay, you know something has to be up...weird, weird, weird. I'm stayin' outta this one. That's $11 for something I don't need, and a reasonably high downside to the whole deal.

[Realrammstein]

AJ, you drive an SVX? Dude, those have worse reliability records than an 87 Hyundai...lol. Back on Topic, I wouldn;t touch this deal with a ten-foot pole. $15(11 + 4) will buy me a 3.5 ilbs. of babbyback ribs(or one trip to Tony Romas). http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/wink.gif

[ranger498]

well then that voodoo doesn't even seam worth the fat on a slab of ribs ,seems tooooooo shady ! http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/frown.gif

[pennypinch]

ya know, ranger, for a guy who's always picking on people about their spelling, your's is pretty horrendous...

[sklim1]

Haven't you guys learned anything from the DVD player scam! $11 X 10,000 idiots = lots of money. Two things that scare me: yahoo store + non credit payments. Good luck...

sklim1

[calng]

This may seem like a great deal, but Im backing off on this one. If the seller is only offering paypal, then I am not going for it. Remember the old phrase, "If its too good to be true, then it is". Also, you think $15.00 is nothing and just take a risk. Think this, there may be at least 200 members from gotapex who will jump on this deal. 200 * $15.00. Not much eh? This is basically free money to the seller, and you know what? He *is not* obligated to sell because if he doesn't deliver, who is going to make him? No one, paypal would not do a thing about it.

[pennypinch]

Just out of interest, which DVD scam was that?

[CiViC]

Well, since pennypinch was out correcting someone's spelling, lemme point out a minor grammatical error -- "your's" doesn't need an apostraphe http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/biggrin.gif .. Oh well, english sucks anyway, jibberish is the language of choice (at least all college professors think so).

mebbie they found them on the "back of truck"
http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif

[skyjuice]

Ok- here is my take, and I ordered one too, so I am not writing this too scare anyone.

I was like one of the first ones to jump on this deal this morning and like 6 of my coworkers bought like 4 each. I went to paypal and did the credit card thingy and not the checking account one after i submitted my order. I did who have a printed confirmation and I did read extensively the vendors business policy as stated on yahoo. store etc. 1) thing that bugs me out is that they have no phone number that works, (its a voice mail).2) They have an auto-return mailer on there email server. They onlt have a fax and voice mail.3)LOOK WHO STARTED THE THREAD FOLKS!!! "LEGEND"< LIKE WHO IS THAT?? ITS HIS FIRST POST!! BS!! Do a profile on this guy. Whats it read? He has some real trite information in there doesnt he? 123 in your email addy, "technical supervisor". Do you think its someone that is trying to appeal to us? I think its dan himself. And whats this crap that he was banned on EBAY. Someone post that link so i can see that myself. anyone live near this NOdandoon company in San Jose that can like drive by and see if this place even exists? Dude, i am completely freaked now. Oh well, it should my greedy ass right i guess. I know in my gut whoever "LEGEND" is, he is somehow affiliated with this company or taking us for a ride. I dont care if I dont get the deal, I just dont want t get my CC cleaned out and have to go to court on some BS technicality- Thats freaking me out. I am not worried about the 15 bucks. I am worried about the fact that someone would have the balls to actually run a scam like this. BUT- as I read along and read there disclaimer, they say that they acquire parts for cheap at foreclosures, bankruptcies, "one-time" auctions etc- So then I am thinking well maybe he has 30 of them or so. I dont know- Only time will tell. I can tell you, I will be keeping in real close contact with my CC company and my bank over the next week until this thing pans out. I ordered 1. This guy I work with ordered 10 of them. Well See. What do you guys think?

[Doofy]

I feel for the few of you who tried this deal but hope things work out for you. But when you do a 'who is' on their domain, it says domain registered in VA. But their site says their located in CA. Than if you try to call the number [(720)533-9061] where the site is registered, it never goes through.

[Justin42]

I just called PayPal and got the standard "We suck, we can't refund your money, but you can call us back and try to talk to our scam department" garbage...

So what's the best thing to do? Has anyone heard a thing? Should I contact my credit card company and risk my PayPal account (big loss http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/wink.gif? Hold tight? Anyone have experience in things like this?

[skyjuice]

sure enough- I looked this joker up on ebay and he is frieken suspended-

here is this guys email addy if you guys want to see for yourself.

Yeah, I was trying to remember when I was typing that if there was an apostrophe in "yours". Oh well, at least it was intentional...as opposed to that no-good-typing ranger. BTW, that's a really pathetic "disguise" Vadimr. Your grammatical/spelling skills (or lack thereof) don't make for the best cloak-and-dagger.

[pennypinch]

And sorry to have sent you into a unintelligible frenzy, Juice, but the facts be the facts: the dude is suspended. I have no idea what y'all should do, just hope and pray this guy is stupid or something, I guess. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/frown.gif

[Realrammstein]

Man, you guys were in a shark frenzy, this morning. Now, looks like the end of Jaws(all blowed up). Hey Pennypinch, I am down for using BBack ribs as monetary units. My ex roomate and I used to use $1 Whoppers as a denomination(seeing how we could always head down to the one near campus).

This is to Skyjuice.

Did I hit a nerve with you or what. I've used the gotapex site numerous times and had many very great deals arrive at my doorstep. I don't have time to post alot because I have a full time job that takes about 65 hours out of my week. I am a technical supervisor for a nationwide tech support firm but that's not what I'm here to say. About my email address. [email protected] IT'S LEGITIMATE. E-mail me and I'll e-mail you back. I don't see why you bashed me in this post because after all how many other deals on this board have gone sour. Don't even want to say the word Staples. Don't bash the messenger ok. I'm just here like you guys looking for a good deal. We are all adults and I really expect a higher calibur from someone who has been posting on this board for so long. Basically in closing, I am going to continue to post what I think can be a great buy. This was one of them. If any of you have any doubts about a deal that may or may not seem shady please don't jump in on it. I don't want any of you to be upset at a post I have made. Trust me in saying I have been burned before but in the end I was at fault. The poster did not force me into giving out my CC #'s or otherwise. I just want to have a good time here and get a ton of deals. If I have offended anyone I'm sorry but if this or any of my other deals I will post go through I'll accept your thanks in advance. Stay true to one another.

haha, nope, I just put side markers on my car (yes I really did) and fog lights, and whoa, I saw a 200hp improvement! my car now has 306hp! what a deal! i may add stickers soon, heard each sticker you add gives you 5 more hp! so it goes like this:

Side Markers: 100hp
Fog lights: 100hp
sticker: 5hp
rims: 50hp
lowering your car: 25hp
glow in the dark "H" badges: 10hp

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

[Realrammstein]

Dude, you forgot "shogun" wings(for the neccessary downforce). That's got to be good for another 100 HP.

neon lights 15 HP
spacers (behind your rims; so your tires jut out from the body) 25 HP

and the venerable Type R sticker(instant 250 HP)

A while ago there was a similiar seller that was selling the infamous Apex DVD player which usually sells for $200-300. The one with a loop hole feature goes even more at Ebay. But this dude was selling at $80 or so. From what I can remember, this guy only accepted checks! What scares me is that people were flocking to this deal without even putting some common sense in their brains of theirs. This turned out to be a big A-s-s scam.

[CiViC]

...the Apex has been $179 at circuit city for a LONG time...the only ones i've seen for $200-$300 were the ones with the loophole on ebay...

OT for a sec- GOTTA defend my car....
My car is the Front Wheel Drive version. Rare. Steling Reliablility. I payed $8000 for it and haven't put a cent into it. It is faster than the normal 4WD version (0-60 in 6.6sec). Still havent had anyone beat me off a stoplight... http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/tongue.gif I hear bad things about the transmission over 100k miles, but I bought the car with 40k miles, and I intend to get rid of it when I finish college WAY b4 100k miles...

Ok heres the deal: Youre a college student with $10k to spend on a car
1) Used Honda Civic from 96 with 50k miles on it
2)A Gran Turismo Supercar capable of 140mph, for $8000 with only 40k miles.

And I have never seen a car where people give me as many thumbs up at stop lights, or yell, "nice car! what is that?" Almost every day people ask me questions about how much it cost, how fast etc.

One 20 year old girl stopped me at a gas station and asked me about my "Porsche". Nuff Said http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif

[pennypinch]

Lookit, just because some stupid girl couldn't tell a fantastic piece of machinery from your plastic-fantastic, does not mean you can use it as a boasting point. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
I gotta say, though, $8G's for an SVX is not that bad a deal, especially if you plan to ditch it after college. I have to say, having just finished college, you don't get rid of your car when you say you will. My friends all just realized the money isn't rolling in like they thought, and have had to stick with their pieces of crap. Ha! I love being a rich kid... http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/wink.gif

[Justin42]

This is odd-- when you go back to the store today, and click on the V3... it says "Out of Stock" instead of the item description it had yesterday.... maybe some people are actually gonna get this?
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/nodandoon/10081.html

Seems like this person put a LOT of work into all the other item descriptions just to scam people out of $11... I still am not convinced I'm ever going to see my $26 OR 2 Voodoo3's ever again, though.

[darkscorpion]

I made the order but didnt send the money yet. Anyone who gets the video cards please tell us... I will then try to complete my order.

scorpion.

[Realrammstein]

"plastic fantastic" I love it. lol I am not going to bag on the SVX thing(even though I would have opted for a MR2 turbo...in that range). But Gran turismo supercar!?! come on. Are you at UCLA, cause I have noticed an SVX, driving on Veteran every once in a while(driving too slow). http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/wink.gif ok....I'm done with the OT stuff.

You know, we always crack on people that do it to their Hondas, but folks with BMW's and MB's do it too. The fake-as-hell "AC Shnietzer" (or however you spell it) or some of the those "AMG" beauts? Classic. They look just as bad as some of those Hondas.

I've heard racing steering wheels and shift knobs are also horsepower "tricks of the trade".

[Realrammstein]

You're right about the MB's and BMW's. But the % of those with stupid effects is far lower than the Honda/Acura crowd.
