    Notice on their home page, that it is their number 1 product. It also says they have them in stock, but doesn’t say how long before you would get it. I gotta think if its Jakarta, that its quite a wait, but ice fishing is over, so as long as its here before next year…..yeah!!! Right!!

    I called Marcum this morning and they looked at the website with me and said they don’t know how these guys got the flashers, don’t know if I would get it if I paid them. They did say, though, that if I did get it from them, and if I had a receipt and it was new when I purchased it, they would honor the warranty. I also asked about counterfeit or bogus flashers, and he said he never heard of anything like that and it would be a first. He took my name and number and said he was going to ask around Marcum today and if he heard anything negative that he would get back to me right away. They also said that the best place to purchase it is at a place that specializes in fishing equipment, like Reeds or Cabelas or Gander. So if you want to take your chances and put it on a credit card, make sure you keep an eye on it and notify the credit card company right away if you don’t get it or if need to make a claim, you have your information handy.

    PS. Shipping is $45.00, but they are shipping it from Jakarta!! Be extra careful. I will let you know how it turns out for me.

    Post any follow ups or if anyone other than me orders one, keep this post updated.

    Thanks

    buying from places like that is always risky, check google to see if anything recent has been written about them (reviews good or bad)

    I recently took a chance on a small online retailer to save $50 over more reputable stores and luckily it paid off and everything was delivered as promised, but i’ve also heard horror stories…see if they pick up their phone, ask questions if they do…

    right now you might find good deals locally as icefisherman put away their stuff and some might want to upgrade next year…I saw a LX7 for $400 on c-list the other day…

    I suppose you could always pop in unannounced and ask to pick up your item in person.

    If you get a hold of them ask how the ice fishing is there. I do have some slightly used ice holes for sale if interested. But hurry there going fast.

    I see they sell boat motors at really attractive prices as well. Think I’ll get on wiring some cash out asap.

    Payment methods are suspect. My money will stay here. Pay Pal would be ok.

    Did any one ever order from this site? 115 EFI for 3779 is catching my eye but can’t find any info on the site due to no computer knowledge help needed from Internet veterans!

    I’d order a 115 EFI from them if I wanted to donate $3779 to an Indonesian scam artist.

    I really hope no one on here actually thinks there may be a shot that this is legit…
