[GreenKeys] Excellent Deal on Rasperry Pi 3 Model B

[Jordan Spencer Cunningham]

Agreed, Bob. It seems too good to be true.

However, since eBay's been so good about fixing problems the few times
they've arisen for me, I've felt it was worth the risk.

Sometimes newish sellers offer prices where they couldn't possibly make a
profit just to garner a lot of positive reviews and kick off their
business. I've run into this once or twice before, and it turned out well.
I'm crossing my fingers that this is the case here. If it turns out to be a
scam, I'm not worried as eBay has yet to fail me in that right. They have
to compete with the likes of Amazon who will often accept returns with free
return shipping without bothering to ask why.

I guess we'll all know in a week or so.
