Fakes on UK EBay?

[neo-ninja 1]

HI All,

 

I am very new to the world of 3d printing and this community so helloa!

 

In short I have been looking for a good deal on Ultimaker2 in the UK and have found some great deals on them on ebay. But alarm bells are slightly ringing as they are £1300 about £500 cheaper then buying through a recommended reseller.

 

Are there such a thing as fakes? I have asked a few questions to the seller and each time they have replied in a friendly and timely manner.

 

Any advice would be fantastic.

 

Take a look -

While I have no idea if they all have been "found", there where a bunch of machines stolen about a year ago. (Traceable by serial number)

But these could also be very well second hand machines.

No they were meant to be brand new by all accounts. Or that's what the guy told me who was selling.

Very strange.
