Hi Shaun, Good points there. Keep in mind BSC Games, Draconis, GMA, etc have really good track records with taking your orders online. They are what we would call trusted sites. However, there have been some real scares for lets say computer users that look for porn on the net, and give there credit cards out to slese sites with unknown reputations. Bottom line, considder whom it is you are buying from.
