There's potentially $4,500 worth of gear there, so a buy-it-now price of £359 seems too good to be true. Caution is recommended. Ask yourself the question, 'Why would any dealer buy these for $4,500 and sell 'em for considerably less'?

A seller with zero previous sales, and zero feedback, offering an unbelievable product at a ridiculous price...??

I hope you didn't....
