That seems very cheap for a genuine SB-600, I'm suspicious...

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.

I wouldn't give a website like that a pound of my money, realistic prices or not.

Well spotted people.

I thought it was too good to be true.

Btw, I don't suppose anyone here is selling a used SB-600 for a suspiciously cheap price?

Their FAQ States said:

To utilize our warranty – including to address any warranty issues, such as repairs or replacements – your product must be returned directly to us for handling (the product is not to be returned to the manufacturer).

In other words the goods aren't legit imports and therefore the warranty is being underwritten by BPB (if you're lucky). I love companies like this that try to make you think you're getting something special by offering a one year warranty (which, of course, is a legal requirement).
