hashtagbikes.com legit?
 
anyone bought stuff from them?

seeing an insane price on something.. seems too good to be true!

i see that they sell a lot on amazon but just want to double-check.

The website seems legitimate:
-Complete contact information, including physical address and all
-They list Kona brand bikes on their site. On the Kona website, they are listed as dealers for that brand.
A price too-good-to-be true could be a typo or something, too. But it looks like the company actually does exist and all.

I would pass just because they say "hashtag".

Good point on the Kona dealer listing!

A lot of their Amazon reviews seem really generic and possibly fake.. but again I may just be paranoid.

They certainly seem to be real, just wanted to double-check before plopping $600 on something from them.

I can forgive them in this case, but ha yeah.

Maybe OP, you found a misprint, but after searching several familiar items on their site, I can't find any deals that I would be interested in, much less that would make me think the business was bogus. Very ordinary pricing IMO.

Just to follow up on this in case anyone find the thread later..

They're legit.

Got a Powertap from them that retails for $738 for $600!

Price has gone back up, but I'm pretty happy to have snagged it.

Refurb /open box?? That sounds too good to be true unless margins are that crazy on those things.

You're not asking yourself whether you are making a mistake about the supposed deal you found. Are you sure you understand what is being offered and what is a more usual price for it. Proper specification? The actual device, not just the bearings for example or the instruction manual? New? Recent date of manufacture or not? And so on.

This is a zombie thread that was stirred up by a newb(possible spammer).
