Ok Mr Experienced... here's how this plays out
First of all, the items were in stock. Brand new.
Second, I've bought plenty of stuff through Amazon before and it's all been sweet. Don't assume someone's not familiar with the pitfalls of something like Amazon which has been around for ages. That sounds pretty naff, mate.
Third, if I'd bought from a domestic vendor such as Bintel I'd be up for around $170 instead of say $130. About a 25% saving, Steve, which ain't bad.
