Salomon Quest 4d2 gtx under $90

Amazon.com | Salomon Men's Quest 4d 2 Gtx Backpacking Boot, Detroit/Black/Navajo, 11 M US | Hiking Boots

It's from an Amazon 3rd party retailer, seems to be a good selection. If the link doesn't work, go to Amazon, search the boots, click on "see all offers," the retailed is named "Heysamar" -- says it just launched and there's no feedback for them. Sounds too good to be true, but I'm giving it a shot.

Anybody see any red flags here?

I see the same red flags as you. But, since it's through Amazon, I may give it a shot as well.

just launched. id run from that. too good to be true.

I'm not probably as informed as many of you on the ways people can scam you online so I'm curious what the risk is?

I think you are protected from losing your money aren't you? Either through Amazon.com or your credit card company?

 

[Trophy8]

Curious if you got a ship notification? Will amazon issue a refund if they try to screw you? I'm looking at buying these exact boots....

 

[mountainman406]

According to Amazon it's covered under their A-Z buyer protection so if the merchant tries to screw you over Amazon WILL refund.....may be worth picking up an extra pair at this price.

 

[colonel00]

I bit on it. Also purchased with my Amex for double coverage.

I just ordered a pair, let's see what happens. Amex will cover me if anything bad happens... just like with Atlas Coolers...

Keep us posted. Good luck. Hopefully it works out

I do think this is one of those too good to be true scenarios but I took a flyer too.

 

[Silver_yummies]

Sweet. I bought one in size 12.

scammola... "Heysmar" is Russian for "I separate you from your money" You may not lose any money after your CC refunds your loss, but this guy is banking on all the folks who do not have any protection, and for an hour at his computer generating a realistic looking storefront, he will get plenty of return. His other angle is his site will capture your CC info which he will sell in Czeck republic or similar for $500. Let me know if you receive boots in mail and I will eat crow.

 

[Silver_yummies]

Well I'll get my refund if that's the case.

 

[couesbitten]

Yep, I did it too, have to risk it at that price!

Not trying to derail this post, but since we're talking about "to good to be true" Amazon deals, I also purchased this a couple of days ago. We'll see, I figured for $15.23, I had to take the risk.

You are probably right although I am not sure how that angle works as I did my purchase through the regular Amazon checkout. Maybe they have people contact them direct and get payment outside of Amazon? Maybe they get the cash from Amazon and then disappear leaving amazon to refund the money?

Who knows, maybe I will get a message in the next couple days saying there was an issue with my payment and try to get me to pat them direct.

I think the odds of this being legit are very low but I figure it's worth the hassle of filling out refund paperwork and being out the $80 for a short time.

The other angle which I think is very unlikely is that these are some sort of Chinese knockoff boots that they would send out.

The world is full of scammed and the Internet just makes it easier for them. Maybe it will get bad enough that Amazon will be more careful with who they let sell on their website. I suppose they make billions so a few million a year in refunds are just a cost of doing business for them.

Shoes are already "Currently Unavailable".. Doesn't look good.

 

[mtswampfox]

[SHTF]

ohh you know this isn't good if they already took it down.

Yep, I did it too, have to risk it at that price!

Well Since that deal is still available Im all over that. Been looking for a good sharpening system.

I bought with a CC too, for the added protection, Did receive an order confirmation from Amazon, no ship notice yet.
My concern is more that the boots are counterfeits, but we will see. Sierra has these at $120 recently (with more limited sizes available) so hopefully this isn't too much of an outlier. We will see I guess.

I'm in on the sharpener too. May fortune smile on the foolish . . . .
