Too good to be true?

looking around to buy a new barbie and encounter this one on the ebay. looks pretty decent quality to me though with the entire unit is made from stainless steel. however, i'm not too sure how legit is the seller's feedback. it's more like socket puppeting to me thought. i'm not too sure so i thought i ask all the ebay guru here.

P/s: not too sure which categories should i post this. Mod please be nice to me. Thanks!

    …LOL I had to read the first two lines several times before I realised the stainless steel barbie you speak of isn't the stainless steel Barbie that initially came to my mind.

    • guess u were thinking about the "doll" perhaps? if yes… sorry for the poor writing skills for misunderstanding… my apologies… :))

    • LOL. Being a father of two girls, I know exactly what you meant. I clicked through thinking in my head, hey these are not the Barbies I'm looking for!

      • Sorry Scotty, you've just fallen victim to an old Jedi mind trick, "These are not the barbies you're looking for!" ;)

    i just have this itching feeling a 30cm^3 bbq will rock up in the post.

    imho if its too good to be true, it probably is

  • I wouldn't say this is too good to be true, but that doesn't mean it's not without it's risks either. I heard that markup at places like Barbeques Galore can be in the order of 300-400%, but that's just second hand information.

    The eBay feedback profile might give you a better indication:

    I also see that the dimensions of the BBQ are quoted as 168x60x115 cm - which would make it 1,159,200 cm^3 ;-).

    Normally, good sellers have positive feedbacks and feedbacks in thousands to be trust worthy one. This seller account was created in March 2010 and have only 157 feedbacks, with 2 negatives.
    This one looks quite new, so its totally a risk. I think, your should get it from a shop.
    ( I know, good sellers also start one day from 0 feedbacks.)
