I'm looking for a propane fireplace. Since it's offseason, I was hoping for some deals. None to be found in stock at most stores, but then I stumbled on these:

Note the crossed out price and the selling price.

All three listings are essentially identical other than appearance. All are created with Zencart.

There's also a 'what's in the box' section that is concerning.

Just exactly what should a buyer expect to receive? The full stove kit? The remote and some parts only? Nothing at all other than a big headache?

Gonna type out an inquiry and send from a throw away email address.

Also need to explore the domain names.

Frack, all three domains registered in Feb this year, same registrar, same nameservers.

All 3 sites have exactly the same 2 customer reviews posted twice.

Yeah, I saw that too. Only two of them have addresses that are supposed to be businesses, but they both appear to be houses and are across the country from each other.

I suppose it's possible there is a drop shipping company out there with some discontinued stock and there are people signing up to sell from home. But my Spidey sense says otherwise.

I think I found a couple of other sites too.

Noticed that if you want to move the heat into the room, you need to buy a separate blower. Just an observation.

That's fairly common for all of these style heaters from all the various brands.

Those sites look sketchy as F

The warm fuzzies aren't rushing in for sure.

Sent email inquiries to two of them.

No replies.

Buy an appliance like that locally! You'll get installation by a certified propane installer so you won't die!

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Sent email inquiries to two of them.

No replies.

Both eventually bounced back undeliverable.

Please dont buy anything ventless. You'll be dumping the exhaust and lots of moisture into your living space.

 

[skyking]
