TT_TT_TT_TT: this is spam ^^.
Also the link looks like an affiliate link which is in direct violation of the forum rules

drmike: The cid number is a search number stored in their database. Some sites do it to save on CPU usage when folks are all searching for the same thing over and over again.
thanks for clarifying that - thought it was some hidden afficilate/customer id as using the link without the cid part let to the exact same page so i expected a "ref id" there.
If/As i was wrong i apologize to @fr33kSh0w2012 regarding that (while i still find the site quite "meh")

I Googled the site and it is legit....kind of. They don't do a whole lot to check who sells on the site which means there are some valid sellers, and some not so valid sellers.

I think we know which of the two this is.

Was just coming back. Scanned the source code. Appears to be a contest code. Well, the code references the number as a 'contestimg' code. I'm not logging into their website to figure out what's going on. Google'ing doesn't pull up anything nor does scanning their facebook page.

But to go back to my search results, vBulletin does their searches with a number code like that and stores the results in their database for a period of time.

I don't recall my moms talking about the website but it's one of those "If you have to give up information just to see an offer, it;s too good to be true" things. Plus they're all mostly Amazon diehards.

Disclaimer: I have no idea what's going on here. The $1 for a piece of computer equipment though sounds like one of those auction websites selling off iPads at a listing price of a buck though that we see advertisements for.

Ok, this image has made my day! Its like Indian scammers are now exploring new markets for their "talent". :)

It also shows the "quality" of item filtering on that website.

And sometimes you just post shit without any reason .
Of course it is nice when people try to help but after having been robbed and tricked and conned, I am just a tad cynical and suspicious of a lot of things.

Don't give the folks around here ideas or someone will do just that.
I once thought I'd check if Wish sells sex toys. You know, for shits and giggles.
Well, they do. And now their algorithm thinks I'm really into massive dildos and keeps suggesting them to me.
Great site.
