well I'm shoping for a new or used laptop and I came across this site with laptops as low as 49.00. I found this to good to be true but not sure if I should purchase from them. Here is a link to the site. Take a look at some of the computers. What would you do? Do you think this is a scam site?

Only item I saw under $100 was a Power Unit . . . Misleading adverts, but item states itself when you try to add to basket . . .
Generally if it seems too good to be true, it almost always is !!!
Addition : The $149 is for a twin battery charger NOT for a laptop. BAD search engine

ok, when i first read your question and then checked out the link, i was just as confused as you were haha. but after a couple of minute's on the site, i found out that when your reading the product description for the laptop, and then you click on either the check prices button or the buy it here button, your actually buying an accessory for that laptop for $159 dollars, not the actual laptop, try it with any of the cheap ones on that page, i did! hope this answered your question.

If you click on those links you'll find the the $49 is like for the power cord for the laptop.
It's just buggy search and compare software that the website is using.

The low prices you are seeing are for parts.. like just the keyboard. Click "buy it" and you will see what im talking about.

it appears that they have some incorrect info on their website. the $159 price is actually for this product...
