Agreed with the in stock being fiction. I had been searching for a set of athearn cars that was out of stock everywhere but their website showed that they had it. Somewhat skeptical, I emailed them and they said that they didn't have it in stock but would backorder it. Glad I didn't place that order.

This has come up before, the reviews are slow, imcomplete shipping if they ship at all. In stock is a fiction. It's not a brick and mortar store, as I recall. Caveat emptor.
But you are right to ask, rather than sending money.

If you do a Google search for reviews of it, you'll see a lot of negative comments in various forums, mostly RC forums. I've never bought anything there myself.
Has anyone ever ordered from Active Powersports? Been looking everywhere for Peco #5 and they have both left and right in stock. Is it a trustworthy site?
