Re: Barbary Coast
Yes, their website has been closed and they no longer respond to my emails.
I was dealing with them for a few weeks and had numerous issues:
1) I could never get a proper answer from them with regards to shipping costs.
2) They also took ages to respond! I called the landline number they advertised but the guy was never there. When I called Jay on his mobile he had lots of info but If I probed further into the details he got quite irritated and said that if I wasn't happy then find another supplier basically. Not good customer service at all...
When I asked about their background I was told they started this business as a side project apart from their regular 9-5 jobs (apparently they are all dentists and pharmacists) so I wonder why they feel the need to make extra money??? I felt that was quite suspicious as well...
They did seem legit but completely unorganised. And now that their online shop has been closed/cancelled it does raise suspicions...
Thoughts?

Re: Barbary Coast
To add to this, I never actually received a laptop...but then again I never ordered one because my ebay sales fell through due to them not being able to provide me with the company registration number and documents etc that Paypal requested.

Re: Barbary Coast
I've took all my listings down - I ordered one netbook and as far as I am aware it arrived with my customer OK. He hasn't contacted me and this is going back to last month.
Bit strange how they have just closed all of a sudden, Jay seemed a nice genuine guy to me.
