Default Garden site operating as multiple "seperate" businesses - scam?

Having worked for a service like this before, I think I recognise it
as a cookie-cutter operation. Sellsonic (note the "Powered By" at the
bottom of the first page of the sites) obviously uses the same
formula for all the sites to save money and sells ready-made websites
to smaller gardening businesses.


Does not explain how they are marching in lockstep on the product
offerings and being out of products.


There are companies that offer people the chance to run your own
internet business. They all use the same backend supplier and they
use the same website engine. They just provide a name and act as a
retailer. This is sold to people--often who have no ability to have
done this themselves. It is much like Avon, Amway, Tupperware, where
everyday people are selling the same products from the same supplier
using the same sales literature...only on the web.

As with every company you do not know you should be careful with your
first transaction. If a more reputable company has the offering at a
reasonable price you should consider how much you are willing to pay
for "trust".
