12klb winches $170-$300 at toolshomes.com Ramsey Smittybuilt Warn Tuff stuff

I've been looking for a good winch for over 2 years... have bought a few pieces of junk that literally had snapping gears (cheapest stuff at walmart or harbor freight) - now I've found some amazing deals - and would like input...

This seems too good to be true - over one THOUSAND DOLLARS off the regular price - on MANY different winches...

Anyone deal with this site before? - I'm certainly NOT going to contact them to verify prices...
