in I wanna buy it or do it
Looking at buying an Sony LCD TV. Someone on ebay is selling a brand new sony for £500, RRP is £800. Before I go ahead, does anybody know what the guarantee status is should i go ahead with the purchase? Thanks in advance.

    It's probably the same price somewhere else. RRPs are nonsense and are often quoted when someone is trying to convince you that it's a bargain!

    What's the model number? Personally I would try and buy from a store rather than Ebay for something of that value, at least you can take it back easily if something goes wrong! :)
