    Anybody here give feedback on "the games vault"?

    Was going to treat myself to max Payne 3 (ps3) which is retailing around the £35 mark, however I saw a company "the games vault" (http://www.thegamesvault.co.uk/) and they are doing it for £20 inc p&p they've also got loads of other new games...... Only thing is they only accept bank transfers? Which strikes me as a bit odd!

    The guy tells me he has a shop (25 Sheaf Street
    Daventry, Northamptonshire NN11 4A) and i was welcome to go instore, so I was wondering if anyone on here had head of them or even better had been instore or dealt with them before?

    I've had a quick look and can't find... anything?
    I'd steer clear if I was you, or ask if they'd accept a Paypal transfer or something, it seems a little too good to be true.

    Site seems to be under construction, where did you find the pricings?

    I agree with Grimmeth though, seems a little too good to be true at the minute, hopefully we'll be proven wrong though, could do with a decent online retailed giving decent prices outside of daily deals or whatever.

    It was listed on www.play.com as a play trader.

    I've decided to give it a miss as my conversations with the seller were odd, as were some things I discovered....

    The shop at that address apparently closed last year.
    The guy then went on to offer me further new ps3 titles @ £20 each and said if I bought 2 he'd give me a 3rd for free, usually when something appears to good to be true it is.
    He gave me a sort code & acc no to pay the £ into, I did a quick check and found the sort code was a bank in Birmingham, the account name (which I can't recall) was also unusual. I asked about this and he said it was the couriers bank????
    He said the items would be couriered overnight Free of charge, I told him I lived in northern Ireland, he said his driver would go across on the ferry and have them with me the following day, now a return ferry vehicle fare is more than £40 so he'd have Been selling at a loss......

    There were other off things too so I left it well alone!

    Thanks for the input though.
