NVIDIA SHIELD TV Gaming Edition | 4K With Remote and Controller $114.27

Hi Guys,

I told you I will try to be more consistent. I found the Nvidia Shield TV Gaming Edition 4k with Remote and Controller for 107 plus shipping. It's with Amazon but with one of the vendors called SR's Trading.

I been looking at this for a while and I see it often on SlickDeals, but not at this price. The last price I saw it for was 168, but at 114 final price, I would think this is time to make the move.

Update:

Amazon refunded my money so apparently this isn't legit.

We're writing to let you know we processed your refund of $114.27 for your Order 111-1892950-415XXXX from SR's Trading.

This refund is for the following item(s):

Item: NVIDIA SHIELD TV Gaming Edition | 4K HDR Streaming Media Player with GeForce NOW
Quantity: 1
ASIN: B01N1NT9Y6

It has been posted already and people have been warned to avoid that overseas vendor.

Help me understand. What's the penalty for buying at that price if it's backed by Amazon? I'm still guaranteed the product, right?

No. You could get a fake, or it could just not ship at all. Your shipping cost won't be protected. I avoid any deal with shipping cost unless it is rock solid.

I guess I never experienced this because although I prefer to use Amazon Prime, I do use the Vendors. So far SR'S Trading reviews appears to have a good reputation on Amazon although that is not guaranteed. I would think if someone had an bad experience, they would have posted it to this company. I couldn't find one negative review about them.

I guess I will take the risk this time and I'll mark it in my future notes not to post third party vendors on SlickDeals. At first glance, I was thinking that people on here was just anti-Chinese which was scaring me for a sec.

if you dig a little deeper it becomes pretty clear something is fishy. there are 1200 ratings, but only 18 in the last yr, 6 in last 3 mo, 1 in the last month. Doesn't that seem odd for a seller with 3000 items in their storefront?

I would think that it's odd only if this didn't exist on Amazon.com. It isn't like they can stop users from posting negative reviews. What we could say is that perhaps this company doesn't quite have the track record to be fully reputable yet based on what we see.

I know this price might not be for everyone, but I think I can take a risk of $8 shipping to see if I can score at this price. Plus I know if I do have issues, Amazon has been pretty good at helping me resolve problems. If Amazon wasn't in the mix, then I would be fully incline to step in your direction. PayPal has also helped me save the day in the past so I am willing to take risk as long as I can pay with them. Plus me using my credit card, I'll get my money back, regardless what PayPal or Amazon does if am charged. Chase don't play if I make a complaint to them.

Seems odd that you are convincing yourself so hard to go through with this.

Well, keep a note of this and SR'S Trading. My Master's is dealing with Tech so if I do receive a fake product, I promise to write up a review that everyone will notice and I'll be sure to press Amazon to the max about this issue.

Thanks guys for the info, but still I can't at least try to see if I get the right product at this price. There is definitely risk, but the reward is there also since historically I have been able to get cheap products like this in the past.

I'm just saying that my risk is relatively low, if the worse case scenario should happen. If this company takes my money, never send me a product, or gives me a fake product, I am very confident I will get my money back. If Amazon says that they will give me part of my money back, then I will go to Chase, who will then get me my full money back.

I had this happen to me before with Ebay, but since I dealt with Ebay and PayPal, they easily gave me my money, with relatively little resistance. Once I lose that ability, then I would consider this a far higher risk and not do business at all.

I have to say you have a nice script with ostensibly good answers to many skeptical questions. Whoever is promoting this scam has poot good effort into setting it up.
