CAGiversary!
I was trying to buy an Arcade off Craigslist from some guy, but he told me someone already bought one but he directed me to this page, as well as his ebay listings. How legit is this place? Everything seems too good to be true...

What's a "whois?" Anyways...you know of any legit ones like this one? Would be nice to snag a 360 at wholesale price :)
 
a whois is to find out who owns the domain name.

WHOIS (pronounced "who is"; not an acronym) is a TCP-based query/response protocol which is widely used for querying an official database in order to determine the owner of a domain name, an IP address, or an autonomous system number on the Internet. WHOIS lookups were traditionally made using a command line interface, but a number of simplified web-based tools now exist for looking up domain ownership details from different databases. Web-based WHOIS clients still rely on the WHOIS protocol to connect to a WHOIS server and do lookups, and command-line WHOIS clients are still quite widely used by system administrators.

people usually do this to find out if a site is legit. you could also search google for reviews of that website.

I got the exact same response from someone else on CraigsList, when I was trying to buy some other electronic item. Seems like a big-scale scam.
