    Has anyone ever purchased from bargainbuy.ie? I contacted the owner and apparently its irish owned, im thinking of buying this camera off it, looks like a great deal to me 12 mega pixels for only 45 euros and free delivery http://www.bargainbuy.ie/prod_desc_0501.html?sno=298 I cant see a better price on the internet and the prices in stores are a fright.

    they use paypal which i presume is safe enough?

    There's no contact details...that's enough for me to go elsewhere.

    Pops up over on donedeal in different counties aswell. Laois and Dublin, what's that about?

    I'd be verrrry weary.

    Ask over in Online Buying & Auctions to see if paypal is 100% safe or not.

    I'd say it's fine but wouldn't order anything on the basis of the site being terrible. No brand mentioned on the items either, usual China crap.

    Thank you all for the feedback on my site bargainbuy.ie

    I would just like correct the information posted in an earlier thread by " Davy " about the business Reg. Number of my company.
    When looked up correctly the information reads : (*type 432358 into number field)

    http://www.cro.ie/search/CompanyDetails.aspx?id=432358&type=B

    This matches my Whois info as posted by another user.

    Bargainbuy.ie is my latest website and I am based in Co.Laois Ireland.
    Payment is accepted through Paypal. When your order is placed, it is dispatched from my international overseas suppliers.

    I've only launched this website in February 2011 and already have over 100 happy Customers.
    I can assure you this is a Genuine Website Offering Real Value.

    I would advise ourtrail to go ahead and purchase the 12mp camera securely through our site. this is a very popular camera and exceptional Quality and value

    Thank you for Reading and Support Irish Business! :)

    Hi bargainbuy,

    What are your other websites?

    And just a bit of feedback, you need to put contact details on your site, most people will go elsewhere if they can't find this on a new site.

    Ok Guys I see the confusion over my company Number.
    Follow the link i posted earlier onto the Companies Registration Website.
    Where it says " Search for " Companies / Business Name / Both
    Select Both.
    Type in my Business Registration Number and TWO Companies are displayed.
    Mine is BargainBuy and Surprisingly its the same as this other Cleaning Company you Mentioned.
    Im guessing this company is Dissolved

    And the CRO Re-issued their expired company Number to me.

    Just to get back to " Master of the Bra " in relation to my Contact info.
    My contact details are on top of my home page " info@bargainbuy.ie "
    This contact info is enough for my customers to get in touch with me, as most websites only have an e-mail contact.
    I appreciate your feedback and will consider creating a page " Contact us "
    This website is still fairly new and will be improved significantly over the coming weeks and months, with many more Products to follow.

    Thank you for interest and comments and see bargainbuy.ie for all your car accessories .

    A contact page, with your business postal address and telephone number (land line) would go a long way. Scam sites will rarely have a legitimate telephone number (especially a land line) displayed, so displaying one will help to alleviate peoples concerns. Not displaying the telephone number and address does make things look suspicious.

    I'd also ask your web design people to revamp the product detail pages. Currently the pop-up that appears when you click on a product is quite crap. Also, the pop-ups, get rid of them.

    I don't like this

    "Note :Customs tax (if any is due) are payable by the customer and are not included in any transaction by bargainbuy.ie. This extra tax must be paid by the customer."

    My guess is its a drop ship site with goods dispatched from China / Hong Kong and you will have to pay vat / duty when the goods come to your door.

    Also, afaik, address details and contact telephone are legally required for any trading website.

    The lack of information, lack of brands and general poor design of the website would be of concern. - I'm not suggesting that the site is at issue, but the quality of merchandise & after sales service doesn't seem to be addressed.

    Also, its NOT a registered compnay. Its is purely a sole trader with a registered business name. - Huge difference.

    Reminded me straight away of Dealextreme.com type quality and lo and behold there is the same 12MP camera for a tenner less, free shipping too....

    http://www.bargainbuy.ie/prod_desc_050.html?sno=298

    http://www.dealextreme.com/p/12mp-cmos-compact-digital-video-camera-w-8x-digital-zoom-sd-slot-2-4-tft-lcd-50842


    And here is the same video camera on both sites.

    http://www.bargainbuy.ie/prod_desc_0502.html?sno=298

    http://www.dealextreme.com/p/1-5-tft-lcd-0-3mp-cmos-digital-video-camera-with-usb-sd-mmc-av-out-slot-55520

    Probably a sell through site tbh, avoid.
