Cheap eBay Celestron binoculars: for real?

There is a vendor on eBay right now (ausriver) selling Celestron binoculars (e.g. 20x80 Skymaster) for a much cheaper price than local optical stores. The price is about $100 less than most other offers, including other eBay vendors.

They're not a specialist optical vendor, they sell a few types of binoculars but they are a general store which sells the usual assortment of inexpensive Chinese stuff. In feedback there are a couple of negative reviews, but mostly positive feedback.

I am wondering if they are for real. There is no point paying a "good" price if they're a cheap fake with lousy optics.

Has anyone bought one of these binoculars off them and was the item that arrived apparently a genuine Celestron product of acceptable quality?
