An experienced buyer probably wouldn't risk it. The seller has no history and they are using a stock photo. Other things that seem odd, firstly this is US made, so is it suitable for the UK, secondly, some of the parts are generic and not genuine. Seller is registered in the UK but selling, for some very odd reason in Australian dollars and should this be a false trail and item arrives from Australia then there will be customs duty and handling to pay and returns will be very difficult.

I'm also on the original thread in the old style forum. One thing to note is that the item is a 110v so it wasn't made for the UK market.

I emailed the seller at about 10am this morning to ask if the product is actually in the UK and why the price is so under the RRP. I have not had a reply as yet.

My mind is telling me its a scam but the nice side of me wants to believe it could be a 110v consignment sent over here by mistake so they are selling off cheap??

Whilst I wouild be happy to accept that I have full protection if i paid by paypal I am aware that this isn't always as easy as it seems as item would need to be returned fully tracked for instance, and that could cost money.

20 sold since this morning so their won't be any feedback yet.

they are only registered on the 16th

Actually, postage quoted is for AusPost Express Courier which suggest seller is in Australia, so definitley looking dodgier by the minute. As it weighs 23 pounds I'd like to see that shipped for less than £4 from Austrlaia.

Thank you Soolin. Its good to get a more experienced view. I really wanted it to be real!
