Viper Car Alarms on Ebay?

I am looking at a viper car alarm, specifically the 5901 model. Why is it listed for $600 and over on the Viper website but stores on ebay have them for $200? These are legitimate sellers with great ratings and feedback. Is this for real? And why are they so cheap here?

    Because that is what Ebay is all about. Deals.

    Not all the time though. You have to know your prices.

    Also, make sure you check the description very carefully. Asks questions. I stay clear away from sellers that do not offer a money back, or returns. If they don't offer any returns, then I ask questions as to why especially if it is a high dollar amount.

    Many of the items on Ebay are used, missing parts, and older models.

    I also do not buy internationally. I found out too many times that it can weeks or months for your item to arrive.

    Someone with a low feedback is also to watch. Some of these people open several accounts because they have had bad ratings, and when they do, they just open another store.

    All I can tell you is ask questions and do your research.

    =)
