They only charge the amount you agree to, but then they either don't ship anything or ship the wrong and much cheaper thing.

Kind of like mail-in rebates, they hope most people won't want to invest the time and effort to get their money back. That's why the prices are so low, if they were $400-$500, people would be more motivated to try and get their money back. Under a $100, maybe not so much.

Uh Intentionally shipping the WRONG or DIFFERNET thins is totally illegal. You advertise say a Westinghouse 2,000 watt inverter generator for 100 bucks.. YOU MUST SHIP that product for that price. Otherwise it is FRAUD. Pure and simple FRAUD. and as I said

When I checked one of the sights it was 12 days old.

And your point is... Of course it's fraud, and do you really suppose they care? They probably live next door to the Nigerian prince.

Up to 80% off?? Cool!! Great find, thx!!!

We don't need a generator but at under $100 for a nice brand name generator, gonna order a dozen. We'll be the ones at the CG walking around offering brand new generators for cheap. Pssst, anyone want an $800 Champion inverter generator for under $100??

Update: How come when I google globay it comes up with the word "scam" associated with it? Hey, wait a minute... :h

That is the point
Chances are zilch, of getting your money back

Order something on a site like that
You get nothing
And you never get a refund

No need to take chances. I was at Costco about a month ago here in Helena and they had Yamaha SC2000i's on sale for 549 bucks. I don't need one so, I turned my eyes away. There was a pallet of boxes and they were gone within days per my coming back three days later for something else. I don't think Costco is on the scam list.

NOW, that was a deal. OH wait, here it is at 499. https://www.costco.com/A-IPower-1600W-Running--2000W-Peak-Yamaha-Powered-Gas-Inverter-Generator.product.100343958.html

Those aren't Yamaha generators. They're "Yamaha powered." There's a big difference.

Ahhh, good catch.

As was said, that is NOT a Yamaha generator.
It's a Chinese-made inverter generator WITH a Yamaha engine.

I would bet that stuff is all Chinese counterfeit goods.

Either that or when it ships it won't get through Customs.

It won't run your airco though. You need something like a Westinghouse WH2200iXLT at https://www.amazon.com/Westinghouse-WH2200iXLT-Portable-Inverter-Generator/dp/B00NHACROW

I have one of the above and it has started my airco for years now. Haven't tried it on the new one but it is smaller than the old pop up air conditioner.

The prices on these things have come down so much there is no need to hunt down deals and take chances like the old days.
