Must be a copy. It would be interesting to see how good a copy.

The GoPros are overpriced for what they are.

Might be just a mistake in the listing?

His other items are also rediculously cheap, must be some sort of scam.

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...."

I took the other opinion. 10" tablet for £11? Not a huge amount of money to lose if it all goes wrong, but a useful tool if it actually works.

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.

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.

Decided to go for one as well.

Can always get money back via Paypal if not receiving anything.

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

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items, posting from china can take many weeks, so buyers don't complain for a couple of months, by that time they have withdrawn the money from paypal.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.
