Sometimes you never know what is going on with the sellers.  

 

About 2 months ago I was checking out a new leaf blower.   One was on ebay starting out at  $ 49, at Lowes it was $ 140 Relative new seller with about 40 sales.  It went for $ 90.  About 2 days after the auction they had another starting for $ 70 and free shipping.  I bid that and won as the only bidder .  About 3 days later it was at my door.  There was a billing statement on it for the full retail value from Lowes  with about $ 7 worth of tax added and it had shipped from North Carolina (Lowes headquarters), the state I live in.   The ebay lister was from the Midwest.  I checked my Lowes account for two months and nothing showed up on it.  Never did figure out what was going on, but got what I bid on for the price I bid.

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.
