I dunno but if I were you I'd have bid a 100euro and not posted it here.
The seller has good feedback, even though buying direct from Hong Kong seems

1. Because he want to be paid by methods that offer the buyer
absolutely no protection against freud.
2. Because his 42 "buyers" all registered their feedback within
a 4 hour span on June 28.

Good catch - if I had 100Euro to risk on it like I suggested, I hope I
would have read deeper and noticed that.

so if you send them $3k, ...
