Nice spot. Seems most of the bargains like the camera have sold out.

Is it legit as Viking already have a clearance section on there website, there are no contact details anywhere and the logos are different (look at the K and G) , you pay by paypal :suspect:

REMOVED QUOTE

Most likely a scam, as Viking's official site has their own nameservers that point back to their Office Depot HQ.

Some of their items have links back to Ebay auctions which look to have been removed by Ebay.
Dodgy-tastic.
Where'd you find out about the site?

I checked out the domain ownership details. it doesn't look like this site had any relation to viking-direct.co.uk
The domain shows as having been created 12 jul 06. I would be very wary

I think it is legit. Marketworks are a well known reputable company. They mainly do data integration with ebay, so I suspect the site is just a sales channel for ebay, which viking direct will sell or start to sell through.

Any site with NO way to contact them is highly dodgy in my opinion

It's definitely legit but has only just gone online so I think there are some teething problems, especially with the listings on Ebay.

I received details of the site yesterday. Gary Thompson works in the E-Commerce team at Viking and they're using Marketworks to list the products on Ebay.

If I were Viking I'd be looking a refund from Marketworks :D
Very poorly presented amateur looking site that certainly doesn't instill confidence.

It may not be a finished site yet and maybe under construction, either by marketworks or viking themselves.

Best thing to do is email viking-direct if you have concerns
