Peter,
You're absolutely right... People need to check a lot further into the auctions.. People will nail you in shipping quite often.. I've noticed dealers there doing the same thing.. It'll have a great "buy it now" price, but when you scroll down and add the shipping to the actual cost you'll notice that it exceeds what everyone else is selling it for.. Here's a good example.. I almost bought my Zoom MRS-4 online from a dealer at Ebay.. He had it on the "buy it now" option for $200.00 Now keep in mind everyone else is selling them for $219.00, so the $200.00 sounded good.. Then when I scrolled down to the bottom and added the shipping price I found that the dealer was in fact getting the $219.00 price for the unit. He had a rather large shipping price so he could get the full $219.00 So it wasn't a good deal. Check the history of the sellers, contact them, generally if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is...
