anything from China is a scam, don't buy it. They will say, oh it got held up in customs due to a teriff fee, please send 25 more dollars and I can free it up from customs after paying the fee.
Don't buy anything from any sort of unreliable source it is all a scam. I can smell them a mile away.

That is if you even get a copy. I am sorry but buying things from foreign countries are pretty much all scams.
A few years ago I saw an add in the paper for a puppy, and I was thinking about getting a dog. I contacted this guy who was suppose to be from Colorado. he had a couple of bull terrier puppies he had to get rid of due to his job. So, to make a long story short, he gives me a bs story about how he is a missionary in Africa and that he can't keep the dogs. When I say OK I will be in Denver this weekend visiting my Aunt and Uncle and if I like the dog I will just take it home with me back to Kansas City. He says, oh no, I am already in Africa but if you wire me $400 to ship the dog you can have it for free. I instantly laughed, this traced his IP from the header of his email, informed the news paper, posted it on several blogs and then wrote him a nasty email about how he should swallow a bullet, and that I have logged all his information and given it to the "authorities." Which, well there is no internet police but I thought it may scare him a bit.
Anyone with any common sense knows you can't just ship an animal across the ocean into another country with out it going through some serious quarratines and all kinds of customs and paper work.
