Was surfing the web trying to find Yukon Trail SM24 Navigator retails for. Ran across sears sale. FYI on the website the first price has a line through it, original price, second price is sale price.

Checking out reveals only USA addresses and FREE SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I punched in a Seattle Zipcode.

It states Sold by Aplusbuy, so I dont know what that means. I thought it was the SEARS website online and not some Amazon thingy. Still not bad at all, get free shipping to boot.

Other reputable websites that sell the same sort of kit sells for $180 - $225 48V 1000W Rear.
For example - http://stores.ebay.com/Xcceries-Store/Electric-Bicycles-/_i.html?LH_TitleDesc=1&rt=nc&_fsub=2087106017&_sasi=1&_sid=38748957&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1581&_pgn=1
Again these guys DO NOT SHIP TO CANADA but their parent company YESCOMUSA sure does $315usd gets me a nice gettup'n'go but they sure like to get ya on the s&h $70usd.

Buy hey hey hey lookie here, a $50 kit LMFAO Im tempted to bite and see what comes. Then play the refund game.

That is a remarkably low price.

Has anyone ever discussed the issue of ultra low price items?
Are these episodes of dumping in order to generate an emergency cash flow,
Trying to establish evidence of volume
Or even stolen merchandise or the ex-husband's Porsche?
