it has to be. anything on ebay that LOOKS too good to be true, always is. thats an 1500-2000 unit...no way anyone sells it that cheap.

I would assume there's something wrong here too.......but if you happen to go for it and it works out let us know! I would definitely get one for that price (but I can't see how he would be selling it for that price).

This smells, worse than the used womens underwear he is peddling. I like the must buy 2 part. He is listed as a german seller, yet the product is in the UK. And the price, wow, I wonder if it has any internals in it or if it is a plastic mock up? Smells like bait, I wonder how many suckers he'll reel in?

There are certain instances where people sell ebay accounts with lots of positive feedback. Obviously if you saw someone with 300+ positive feedbacks, and someone with zero...you'd be more trustworthy of that person with a lot.
Scammers aren't stupid and they know this as well.
Like someone previously stated, if it looks too good to be true, then it is.
The only thing I could suggest is if you worked something out with the seller to sell it COD so you can actually see what you are buying.
