World Best Beautiful 500 Plus Themes Collection, 1.1 - $199.00 on Handango

[iant54]

It seems that someone has either made a mistake or is deliberately trying to put people off looking at Handango. The subject program shows up 35 times out of the first 50 entries if you change the view to "Newest".

And, yes, it really is showing as costing $199.00 - $179.10 for Handango Club members! How many people are really going to purchase this product?

A bit of further research on the Handango site using the developer, ISA Group, as a filter. The software is listed an amazing 67 times! Two of the listings show downloads - one with 3, and the other with 10 plus a review (which gives it five stars):

A reviewer from Hong Kong, ... "I recommend this great themes."

I wonder if this reviewer thinks the price is in Hong Kong dollars. $199 HKD is about $25 American.

It appears that Handango have removed the many iterations of the software, and the five star review!

It's back again, under a different Developer name! This time, I'm emailing Customer Support:

"I visit your website almost daily (sometimes more than once in a day), and check the items in the Newest selection. It makes it very difficult to detect software which I would consider purchasing when one of your Sellers posts their programs several times - this is the case currently, with Global Media Group who have their wares showing up 59 times in the first 7 pages - and they only appear to have three individual programs for sale.

This also happened about two weeks ago, with the same named software (at the same outlandish prices) by ISA Group.

Please would you try to get them to limit their enthusiasm for their own products?


Regards,
Ian Thompson"

I think it's a gag. Did you notice the download speed? 0 sec @ 56k.
