My DNS service shows nothing useful, other than that fact that it doesn't exist. Expired search index listing is as follows:

Welcome To Gadget Galaxy
Wholesale & retail supplier of RC toys & hobbies, including boats, planes, helicopters, cars, both nitro & electric powered. Also deal with electronics & gadgets.

Site appears to be owned by a "Michael Gervasi," who doesn't have any direct contact info listed, but everything he does appears to be out of Australia. He's owned at least 5 other website domain names in the past 3 or so years.

His alternate e-mail listed is: [email protected]

Only known address I could find:

INTERESTING PART

The website is listed on at least 3 other sites as a "scam" website. BUT...

THIS eBay profile (click) actually claims to own the "gadgetgalaxy.com.au" website. They also have about 10,000 feedback, so whoever is behind that appears to be legit. Also see: member page (click me too)




Fishy, but I think your best chance if the guy never contacts you back would be to try and get ahold of him via eBay (they do claim to own that website). Note that because the domain "gadgetgalaxy.com.au" no longer exists, any emails you try to send to an address ending in that name will not go through.

Hope this helps in some way. Good Luck!
