Hmmm,

I just got an email from this guy (the owner of internationalewholesale.net), and I dont get a good vibe from this either. I buy ipods wholesale and sell them on ebay and he initiated contact with me by emailing me and saying he got my email address from one of my ads on ebay. Reasons why i dont trust this:

1)There's a minimum transaction of 1500 Euros ($1888 USD).

2) He deals only in cash. He accepts "credit cards" via Moneygram (in other words "cash advance")

3) He initiated contact with me. If this were legit, there would be people beating down his door to buy from him. He wouldn't have to solicit business.

4) It is an international transaction.

5) The site looks cheap and canned... easy/quick set up so you can move on to your next scam easily.

6) After google-ing several different ways, this is the ONLY website I've found referring to this site.

7)There's just no way some random guy (not even a official company) can get these prices. He couldnt even get these prices if he were buying 100,000 ipods at a time. I know, I buy ipods wholesale.

8) If he were getting these kind of discounts, why doesnt he sell them on ebay himself directly... why give up those HUGE profit margins?

Anyway, as much as it would be nice to score some goods at those prices, theres no way it can be legit. Dont fool yourself and get stuck chasing the pot of gold. Here's the email I received from him:
