    Quick question is this site fake ? http://www.cheapairmaxireland.com/.
    Its too good to be true so it probably is ? Anyone have experience with them if they are legit they probably sell fake ones right ?

    Anonymous/hidden whois details for the domain, no contact details on the site, hosted by a hosting company with a history of dodgy websites.

    Simple ways to spot if a site is dodgy:

    1. It uses the country name in the URL (like "Ireland"). Reputable shops operating in Ireland will use <something>.ie or <something>.com, not <something>ireland.com.

    2. The URL looks like a search term you would put into Google rather than a business name. "Cheap Air Max Ireland" looks like something you put into Google, not a company name.

    3. There is no physical address and no contact number on the site. Never buy anything online if you have no way of ringing someone to actually talk to them about it.

    4. There is no "About Us" page, or the "About us" page is blank or poorly translated.

    "Have any questions, please contact our customer service, I will be the first time for you to solve. We sincerely hope to cooperate with you happily."

    Seems legit.
