Surely if someone is prepared to part with $2750 they would do some homework into the product. Wouldnt they?
If they dont, they deserved to be ripped off.

No body deserves to be ripped off. If ebay condone this sort of behaviour by encouraging users to deliberately rip off buyers then they are acting in a very unethical manner and IMHO should be shut down. Personally I buy very little from ebay as frequently second hand items sell for dearer than current market price. If a buyer spends a few dollars more than the going price it's no big deal, but in this case the equipment on offer would be worth no more than $1200 second hand so the seller is attempting to steal $1500 from an unsuspecting buyer who might just happen to be some ones parents, grandparents, partner or just a novice. Theft is theft whether it be by direct means or cunning.
