Monoprice? Can someone tell me more?

CAGiversary!
Saw this today at Best Buy, via the marketplace:

Monoprice Xbox One Console  $85.81  !!!

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/monoprice-xbox-one-console/1310722484.p?id=mp1310722484&skuId=1310722484#

Of course, it's sold out online.   I found an old thread on here where a few CAGers talked about Monoprice last year or the year before, but nothing really descriptive or concrete as far as their dealings with them.

Are they legit, or more especially, reliable and reputable?  Is this or was this price correct, do you think?  It seems way too good to be true?

Anywho, not sure if this was the best way to go about asking, but thanks for looking and for any input and/or experiences about Monoprice.  I appreciate it!

 
This is not the right forum to be asking questions, just an FYI. This forum is specifically for posting deals that you find. When I have a question about something being a scam, I usually google "whatever scam" whatever being the name of the company. Then I hit enter, and read what pops up. Usually if a deal seems too good to be true, it is.

C'mon, man, let us beat him down a little bit first before you come in here being all nice.....
 
Monoprice is legit, but I'll admit I've only used them for cables in the past. No idea how reliable they are in terms of hardware purchases.

 
So would it be Xbox Mono?

Well, technically, I did post the deal...although it is over and/or out. But thanks just the same. I'll do a better job of directing my q's to the right place in the future.

You tell him officer.
 
Well, this didn't take long.  I'll take my lumps and curl into the requisite fetal position.  I appreciate the looks and comments both constructive and sarcastic (a custom of my own).  Have a good 'un.

 
Isn't mono a disease that Caucasian teens get ? The site is probably related to treatment. Consult your primary care physician.

I probably should just let it be, but I was informed earlier that I erroneously started this thread here instead of somewhere else. Someone suggested the Deal Graveyard, but I am not allowed to start a new topic there. I have contacted Mr. Cheapy about moving this one (I am not sure how else to proceed, so please forgive my inexperience and lack of protocol knowledge). I don't mean to draw undue attention to this topic by trading barbs or laughs, unintentionally drawing those the more serious of you who are actually expecting just straight deal info. I'm sorry for the letdown. I just figured I'd talk or chit chat because I do appreciate those that replied here -- even if a lot of it was general ribbing -- and I figure I owe them that much at least. To you, as well, thanks for stopping in. I apologize for the false alarm.

 
Monoprice is low cost, but legit. I think this is a site error, they are also charging 183 for Fifa:

and 165 for a wireless xbone controller:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/monoprice-xbox-one-wireless-controller/1311040778.p?id=mp1311040778&skuId=1311040778

those are both in stock if anyone is interested.
Finally saw this, but I wanted to say thank you very much for the reply, input, and information. Take it easy. May your deals continue to be cheap.
