Hi guys thought I would get an expert opinion. Does this look to good an offer to be true rrp on them is 299 quid

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GoPro-Go-Pro-HD-Hero2-He...

I have been looking for 1 for a while and that is the cheepest I've seen. 10 people have ordered one.

What do you think ?

He's only got 60 feedback and none in the last 12 months so it seems a bit dicey to me. These go for £200 normally don't they?

They are currently on amazon for 258 quid so it would be more than 50% off. There's got to be something Dodgey about them at that price.

Buy it through Paypal and if it isn't as it should be, just claim the money back - eBay always side with the buyer, don't they?

I am tempted to take a gamble with it. I was just looking for some re assurance that I wasn't missing anything obvious. It does look a bit risky but as a well known doctor once said "what's the worst that can happen"

Looks a bit dodgey. The seller is registered as a US e-bayer and has had no activity for 2 years and even then just buying and selling a fairly random selection of items. Suddenly back on the scene with a big stack of Go Pros ('sold' 17 and more than 10 still to sell) selling for a bargain price and shipping from Wokingham...

Has the 'seller' had their account hacked?

Good point, that was one of the things that made me question its authenticity. The more and more I look the more and more Dodgey it seems. I think I will just have to buy from a reputable seller and take the safe option. Has anyone got the new go pro and what do you think to it?

If it were me I would hold fire for a few days, all the sales of that item have come over the last 48 hours and so none will have been delivered yet, his most recent feedback is years old. I would give it time for those sales to be delivered and see what feedback transpires from that, if there are a load of negatives and non deliveries then you have saved yourself some grief.

Oh, the listing has just been removed. I am only up the road from Wokingham so was going to suggest picking it up.
