Amazon Marketplace

Im in the market for a LCD tv, i was looking on amazon and in the marketplace theres some unbelieable deals like a 32' bravia for £300! Is it trustworthy? This one seller Univid in particular if very cheap.The guys had 99% positive but this deals just seems too good to be true. Anyone here has experiance on this matter?

    Jul 31 Josh,I've received an email asking me to pay via Weston money union rather than Amazon.co.uk and as Amazon have informed me that they do not deal with Weston Money Union, so I'm no longer interested in the purchase of the LCD.

    6th email....

    Jul 31 ahy bvecause i already start the order...
    we make the transaction under Amazon Protection and
    you will have all guarrantee because you don't need to
    send me directly the money. You will send the money to
    an Amazon Security Center representative and after you
    will receive the item and inspect it,

    you must contact them and they will give me the money
    (If you are satisfied of course).

    Thanks
