Buy low cost product(ticket) from the site ,if they delivered it soon.It is a legit site,you can proceed to buy high cost service or product.
the sites buy like 10-50 tickets (cheap) from the airlines depending on the flight. Then they turn around and sell them for the price they want. Another reason the sites are cheaper is because say a NWA flight has 50 seats. NWA has control over all 50. They sell 30 seats to orbitz, priceline, etc. Then they try to sell 20 seats on there website. As a result that flight’s seats get advertised in many websites.
