How dodgy is this?

Must be a copy. It would be interesting to see how good a copy.
The GoPros are overpriced for what they are.
Stu
Might be just a mistake in the listing?
well i've taken a chance, hopefully paypal backup will be in play, cause i dont hold out much hope of receiving it, let alone it being genuine 
His other items are also rediculously cheap, must be some sort of scam.
Interested to see how it turns out though can guarantee none will be left by time you say it's brilliant
...or stolen of the production line in China 
(were he is based)
Nearly all their stuff is around that price
Hmm after seeing other items I think I wouldn't have risked it.
Got to be a scam - most things sold to date were 99p led lights.
Suddenly lists cheap 'high value' items.
Probably hoping to make off with PayPal's funds before getting charge backs for non-delivery.
the old adage "... if it looks too good to be true...."

If you get something vaguely similar you have probably got a bargain! Was going to risk it myself but if you look at all the feedback (which is all
positive) every item is a cracker toy style gift all sold for under $1. There is no sale for anything over about $3.
You have a great deal if something arrives and I hope paypal insurance works if not.

I've taken a punt... just to see what turns up (if anything)
All feedback small items! Seems dodgy .
If you click on the '176' sold bit, you can see 100 transactions of the 176 and they are all from today, 18th January.....bit weird?
Maybe not.....I would be inclined to take a punt....but that's what they want you to think!
I'm giving it the scam shout.
I reckon its a scam, still hasn't stopped me taking a punt.
The seller has been trading since august 11. Only sold tiny cheap items.
Would people really go to the effort of selling lots af small items over a 15 month period to build up a history to scam peolpe? I'm not sure,
but wouldn't be surprised if they have.
Its a very big risk, but paypal is there as backup.

I expect they will be fake.
Free P&P LOL that will cost more than £20 to send fron China to the UK...

i fancy one of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka9LTPUlSKQ seems a bit less scammy than the go pro 
I've taken a punt on the camera.
When / if anyone gets it will you update us all n ill do same....
Cheers
There is another seller selling then at £19.99
8 feedback though....
Any who.....
Decided to go for one as well.
Can always get money back via Paypal if not receiving anything.
Adrian
I imagine they are scamming paypal - build up a decent amount of feedback through what look like genuine small transactions - then suddenly sell the
high value items, posting from china can take many weeks, so buyers don't complain for a couple of months, by that time they have withdrawn the
money from paypal. Paypal will have to refund the transactions and take the hit.
I'll be surprised if you receive anything, but should get your money back.
In the advert....
"The manufacturer of this article is GoPro which has its head office in the USA. We want to make it clear that we do not offer the manufacturer’s
guarantee."
I think suggests they are fakes if they exisit. If it wasn't obvious enough at £20! Have also taken a punt...
I think these will attract import duty/vat, and a charge from the post office to collect said vat etc.,
so you may have to pay an additional £8 or so, on delivery.
Im so tempted as I really want a Go Pro but cant be ar$ed with the impending admin.
Keep this topic up to date, I have missed out on bargins in the past, this may be another one. . . .
Good luck
I'm so tempted, but cant be arsed with the hassle at the moment
Keep us posted
Will someone buy several, then if they turn up I will buy one off you and you can make a small profit!!
Forget it, clicked buy now just to see what would happen and it gets blocked by e-bay so obviously not kosher...
Interestingly Ebay are now blocking transactions !
I hope those that took a punt get their camera.
But Seems more like a scam every minute.
Beaten to it
[Edited on 18/1/13 by m4maverick]
i took a punt. paid via paypal linked to credit card so hopefully should be ok if it doesn't turn up.
Rather interesting this morning - the guy has no other items for sale, yet he had a ton of stuff yesterday and his eBay shop is shut.
Didn't stop me and all my m8's taking a punt yesterday though.
Most likely shut by ebay for counterfeit good then rather than just the scamminess?
Took a punt on the tablet yesterday too, today's negative feedback on ebay has got a bit fierce though !
Wonder if any of us will get one ??
Oh well....i'll give it the normal 21 days and if my £11.77 tablet has not turned up i wont loose any sleep, pretty sure i will get the money back eventually via paypal.
My thoughts too, will have to keep this thread updated on progress

Yes I have the same message. Ebay cancelled the item, the only reason for this is suspision they are fake. Suspision, not proof, which is why they
say do not claim for 7 days.
I'm still hopefull my fake one will turn up, then I might also get my £21 back

Paul, would be interested to see the wiring diagram when it turns up couldn't find any instructions on the site
A couple of mates have received an email from eBay this morning saying the guy has sent a tracking number and they can close the case when their
parcel turns up.
Interestingly, these are only the people who have logged a complaint. I haven't logged one yet and I haven't received a tracking number /
shipping confirmation.

Got it here now Mac, the 5 wires are, red wire 12v+
black wire earth
blue wire engine revs (ecu signal)
green wire speedo sender
white wire throttle position sensor
So simple I think I might even be able to wire it up myself
Paul, steady on don't get carried away! Is there an room for expansion?
The Venom Project - 25/1/13 at 04:37 PMIt will be a scam, because I got fucked over for a Hero2 last August on eBay for one at £99, I mentioned it on a forum, and many others bought them, all in all the wanker took 98 people for £99 each, it took me 20 days of messing around and a lot of threatening actual bodily harm to the seller, before Paypal refunded me, in the end I bought one from a legitimate seller on eBay for twice that amount, I have to say I love it, They are expensive, but it seems most high quality footage is done with GoPro cameras.
Plus I wanted all the extra brackets, helmet mounts, and body mounts, so the cheaper ones were not up to the job.

Just to add, the gearchange function looks like it will work with both sequential and standard H partern gearboxes

Im presuming its a paypal claim back but wanted to make sure first :-)
Barkalarr - 7/2/13 at 06:14 PMI got my parcel through the post this morning !
And my brother got his....
The only problem is I got a wrist support to stop you dropping your digital camera and my brother got a stone from the bottom of a fish tank!!!!
Clearly he's sent these out so he can tell PayPal / eBay that he's sent me a parcel and the courier is to blame.
Lets see how eBay deal with this - I suspect a few complaints about this guy.
Ill upload the pictures of the parcel, it's priceless!
AdrianH - 7/2/13 at 06:24 PMGot my money back through Paypal, although I have been told i have a small parcel waiting at work which I will pick up tonight. Wonder what I will have in my bag?
