Looks to be quite a nice deal. Lots of positive feedback from quite the variety of buyers. I dunno how to tell exactly how legit everything is...but it might be worth a shot.

If you have the money and time to go through the headache of resolving a bad trade if it happens, then I say go for it!

I also get leary when all the positive comments look like they were written by the same person.

usually not a good sign.

why not, if it's just an ebay-store front?

because it bypasses the real email set up in ebay. hacker gains control of ebay account. he puts up fake auctions and says if you have questions, send email to this other email address (bypassing the real email). if they used the ebay messaging it would go to the real owner's account and he would know his account was hijacked.

In that case its legit. its the same email they use for ebay .

As a rule, I never buy things from people using stock images.

Sure, someone could just lift another image off of ebay, but it seems less likely you'll get scammed if you have a picture of the actual item you will be receiving.
