RIFTGOLDSALE.COM, RIFTSALE.COM and RIFTGOLDSTORE.COM: No Stock, No Soul
Nothing is more frustrating than to arrive at a RIFT Platinum store, cash in hand, but with no stock to purchase.
Or maybe there is, because a trio of sellers — all operated by one shady company — are still taking orders even without having actual stock. Apparently we’re supposed to trust them to deliver when it finally comes. Or trust that they won’t run off with our money. Fat chance Chinese chaps.
Here’s a conversation I had with the apologetic chat agent Nickey on riftgoldsale.com:
What kind of a seller takes money from customers without knowing when exactly they will be delivering RIFT Platinum? Blatantly opportunistic ones, I tell you.
That’s a strong accusation, but what am I supposed to think when further queries on stocks on other servers resulted in the immediate end of my chat session? Notice a conversation I had with the exact same chat agent Nickey at riftsale.com (the poor girl must be spamming her apologies across all three websites like crazy!)
And in case you don’t believe that these three sites are conspiring together, let me compare all three websites using the same web copy and chat service. Two’s a coincidence but three’s an underhanded modus operandi.
Again, I strongly advise you not to purchase from these sites until they show demonstrable proof of having stock. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

http://www.riftgamestore.com/ is a rip off too, I asked customer service if they had stock told me yes, 15m delivery. Ordered 2 days ago and nothing. They are part of IGN/yourswow network.

Thanks for the heads up Justin! I’ll be sure to get around and try their service, although if what you say is true, I should steel myself for yet another horrible no-stock experience.
