Anyone use non-sponsor.com to buy stereo stuff? Did a search for a deck that I want and this place has it for $370.00. It's the JVC KDAVX33 crutchfield list it for $599.99.

yea Crutchfield is usually more expensive and bad for comparison....but after seeing that it's cheaper at the site you found compared to 3 other well known discount sites -- I will have to check them out more. Nice find.

No I haven't ordered it yet. I was going to from that same site but couldn't find anything on them so I've decided to wait. Plus crutchfield didn't have any ratings on it yet so I think the deck is extremely new and I want to see what people think of it before I buy it. Keep me informed.

Sometimes I'm uncertain as well. Basically, we are told that non-sponsor links are not allowed under any circumstance. However, generally a link to a product on a manufacturer's website for specs/illustration purposes is okay - retail vendor's sites are frowned upon although Crutchfield is sometimes used as a reference because they have good information even though they're not known for necessarily having the best price. Asking if a vendor is a good place to buy is a borderline situation - we want members to get information to help them make buying decisions but we certainly don't want to promote a non-sponsor over a sponsor. So answers like "they treated me well" or "they ripped me off" are good but something like "buy from this non-sponsor vendor because they have the best price" could be a problem.
Whether or not a particular product is sold by a sponsor is problematic. We generally don't know every product sold by every sponsor so we tend to remove links to avoid that possibility. Also, sponsors and their products change regularly but these threads are available for search (...most of the time) for a long time. So what isn't available from a sponsor today might be next month.
I know it can be confusing (and even annoying) but the sponsors are what keep this board running. They do that with their advertising but the best advertising is word-of-mouth so thread content is very important.
If you have questions about a specific situation, please ask and we'll get clarification for you.

Just to give you guys an update, I STILL DIDN'T RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK FROM THEM.
I've called several times, tried contacting and messaging, on the phone I always get voicemail. Poor choice I Have done. No product and the money was sent through google checkout, google checkout doesn't show me a way to complain, I'm going to try again, paypal would protect me better. If I cannot get google to dispute I will go str8 to the cc company.
Basically BluelagoonUsa looks very fake to me.

Whatever you buy, always use your credit card. They dispute your claim for you and always get your money back if you never receive the item.
