Members this is paul Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 i just want one! no need to resell. hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sah5150 Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 Ok, here is the deal. I went through their checkout procedure and when I got to the payment part, it was not secure. Any reputable business would be encrypting your credit card information. So no way I was gonna give my credit card info... However, they offered another payment option: Check By Mail. So I selected that and continued to full checkout on the $132 Package that supposedly gets me the free guitar. Now all they have is my name and address and I can call them Monday to try to get someone to verify this AND I have a legitimate order in with an order number if I feel this might really be true. If I feel comfortable, I'll send them a check, if not, well... I also wrote them an email explicitly asking whether this was a real guitar, etc... That way I'll have it in writing if something goes wrong... I hope non of you gave out credit card info - always look for https in the link if you do that so you know your info is encrypted... There is no way this can be true, but for $132 that I haven't even sent yet, I'll take a chance... My two cents, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Brady Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 I fricking can't believe this. I bought 1. I'm gonna resell the sucker. If nothing else you can sell the gift cert and get part of you money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ncook Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 I think it may have been legit, but the limited time has expired. Just a guess. I'd sure love to get in on it if its real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ncook Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 WOOOA, I was wrong, it is on their page, it does look legit. The company IS linked to Zakks page and the deal is on the actual companies web site. Unless the company its self is crooked (which I really doubt since Zakk has them linked to his page) then it is legit. I'm getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 4nkam Posted December 10, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 That's what I'm saying guys...357 is a REAL company that has done lots of work for awhile now. They are hooked up with Zakk and his crew, they often have fun promos/contests going on. It's on the 357 site, the IPs are fine, it was posted on the official ZW board and myspace, etc...

Members turtleheadblues Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 hmm my email receipt did come from their main contact email, only thing is it didnt mention the guitar in the reciept. I wonder if the company or Epi would have to honor it if they file for bankruptcy in say February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We find out its "legit", we pay today and the company files for BK in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tmd187 Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 Warning to All: "IF it appears to be too good to be true, 99% of the time, it is" You all may recieve an Epiphone Les Paul, but the condition, shape, all that crucial stuff that makes a guitar what it is, may not be what your'e getting. This may be sour grapes, because any guitarist in their right mind, would take this deal. That is why I am NOT! Since the deal is through 357, if that would file Bankruptcy, Epiphone is not lible to send you those guitars, the deal is through 357's company, not Epiphone, please guys, be cautious, don't let your eyes get too big and your mouths water at an amazing deal. It sure does look good, but there are too many "what if's" for my credit card or money order to be sent there. And you who did it, I pray to JESUS that you get what you think you are getting, this would be one hell of a scam, and I am sure the HC Alliance would all stand strong on this, but something just tells me "NO", I don't know what it is, it's not my girlfriend either. Just something inside! Good Luck to all who go for it, I really hope it's Legit and everything comes out, Great for yuns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
