Actually, Trovit and other such websites are nothing more than an aggregators - they scrape the web for ads, then falsely serve them up as if it's their own content/ads. And often the prices look unbelievably great because the scrape ebay auctions and show the low bid prices, not the buy it now price, or even the current bid price.
'Hot classic deals' is another one of these parasitic websites?  They're a complete waste of bandwidth!

The dead giveaway is that there is no way to contact a seller directly.  You must submit a form via the website to express interest.  I imagine they then try to wrangle some kind of finder's fee or commission if someone manages to complete a transaction.
Again, complete waste of bandwidth!!!
