    So I've stumbled across this website called gamedealdaily.com. Does anyone know if this website is safe to buy from? Thanks.

    If they're not you can always do a chargeback.

    The site has the option to pay via paypal. So even if you don't get what you want, you can request a refund via paypal.

    I try to stay away from sites which only accept payment via credit card. It is much harder to take a refund from the bank via complain. Paypal is much safer for that.

    indeed paypal can be a pain, but they do seem to deal with fraud and the like, all be it slowly, as for the website never tried it but seems other people have, i normally avoid anything with deal, buy, bargain, saver and cheap in the address

    PayPal is much safer for the buyer than the seller so i still try to use PayPal when i buy things. I hate PayPal generally because of its stupid limitations and canceling accounts for nothing, but it is much much much harder to take your money back from the bank for the purchases you did with credit card. I don't know maybe if had a ultra,giga,platinum cc with a high limit, things could be different.

    About dealextreme, yeah i did several purchases from there and they are reliable. Just know you aren't getting the real thing.

    Dealextreme is the bomb, I've bought some pretty cheap aladin modchips there before.

    I also like DealExtreme. The coca cola telephone and burger cd case has come very useful. (and also making my psp work again) :p

    This is safe, depending on seller.
    I've only got luck, so far.

    Yes, some people here indeed have Dev Hardware.
    I also have one, but I don't sell it.

    Edit:
    I didn't note the First Post, and I thought we were talking about Assembler Games.
    Sorry for that!
