£150 for postage I think its a ripoff?

Probably, but the iffiest part is the seller has no rep.

which will partly explain the low price, along with the use of a stock photo instead of a photo of the actual unit.

Curiously, the bidding just ended, with a buyer paying £555.55    £700+ with shipping.

Curiously? Three snipers in the last 20 seconds bid their maximum. You only got to see the maximum from the last because it was within £5 (or whatever the increment is at £500) of the second highest.

Anyhow someone got a bargain or a Paypal dispute. Who knows which, check feedback in a week or two.

The seller scammer or not is an idiot. The semi-literate response to the question indicates that. Reading like a low quality pishing email it does smell of scammer and idiot.

Wonder if the seller has already been offered a discount to pay by Western Union or something.

I checked the listing 2 or 3 days ago and the seller still had zero feedback.

Checked today and the listing has been removed.

Guess it was a con.
