Replying to DUDE, I need some videocamera (GL1)/ebay advice FAST

Hey everybody, I'm new here but I've been looking around for a couple of days. All I gotta say is these boards are wild.

So onto the camera. All you videographers out there, tell me if $800 is a good price for a BRAND NEW GL1. Here's the catch- the ebay auction seems a little...suspicious. I emailed the seller for the buy it now price, and here's the email I received:


My item is brand new, unopened box
all accessories included and also an international warranty.
First I am going to tell you some things I think you should know before
ending this deal.
I travel a lot and now I am in Eastern Europe. The item is going to be
shipped from europe also.
Now, I can ship through UPS air next day delivery. I will pay for all
taxes. If you wish you can also send me your full shipping info so I can
make a reservation on your name .
The price of the item is $800/unit (as I said earlier with shipping and
insurance taxes included). I need some money as fast as possible so I am
offering a 10 % discount if we end the deal in 24 hours.
Here I am stuck to western union wire transfer.I can't use paypal
because it's not available yet. Just because of this I set up an insurance
with ebay which guaranties 100 % of this deal. If you wish I can contact
eBay right away and have them send you an invoice with my insurance.
If you agree on my terms I am sure we can close the deal right now.
Please reply after you think it over.
Best regards.


So what do you guys think? This sound like a scam? I'm interested in the ebay contract, wanna see if it's legit. Also, the ebayer has 98 positive and 3 neutral comments in the last 12 months. I want this cam...it's a little more than I wanted to spend, but it's brand new, but definitely cheaper than the Canon GL2, Sony VX2100, or Panasonic DVC30. What do you guys think? I need some advice quick, and I know this forum is filled with genuises. So let's hear it- think I should buy it?
