Hi all,
I don't have a lot of experience buying on ebay, and this seems too good to be true. Mac triumph for under $20 shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com/Maclaren-Triumph-Charcoal-Orange-2008-Stroller-New-/280652596661?pt=Strollers&hash=item415832c5b5#rpdId
Would you take the chance? There is no feedback for the seller, and the shipping seems too cheap to be possible: UK to Canada for under $4?!
Stay away? Or take the plunge?
Thanks!

That definitely seems fishy...but, you have buyer protection from both eBay and PayPal, so in my opinion there's not much to lose. It is also suspicious that they "borrowed" the entire listing from this seller:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Maclaren-Triumph-Charcoal-Orange-2008-Stroller-New-/260754468074

who is thought to be (or known to be) the official Maclaren clearance center.

My feeling is, it is less than $20...and you have some protection...so why not take a gamble?

I just read up on ebay's refund policy and I guess I'll give it a go...
Fingers crossed!
If it's legitimate then it's a real steal, used triumphs sell on craigslist here in vancouver for over $100.

I was never able to complete the payment through paypal (error message kept coming up) and this morning got an email from ebay that it was a scam.

Besides, it was a 0 feedback seller, always suspicious.
