What is the con with amazon marketplace?

[sports_brah]

Was looking at buying something recently which retails for around £1500. Went on to today and there was a chap on the amazon marketplace selling one out of box but with a full warranty (claims he is a shop) for £500?

I've snapped it up and have read up on Amazon's A-Z guarantee, but still feel its too good to be true.

Anything I'm missing or are bargains still to be had? Still time to cancel now if there is anything suspect!

Item is an electrical good, not sure how it can be faked..

The item is described as open boxed box but with full warranty. Seems to have a lot of feedback (from what I can see).

Might have a chit chat with amazon to make sure they see it as being kosher? Guess they hold onto the money for a while?

I've had a friend who did the same with a TV from the marketplace and saved a fair bit, his TV is still working it was an open box with an accessory missing.

Hopefully so.

By making an electrical good that looks simmilar but is much lower spec.

Theres fake iphones and everything available.


For say a TV the original could be a high quality 4k IPS pannel the fake a 1080p TN panel

Will definitely be checking serial numbers etc/warranty status. etc

So basically don't be silly and you'll be fine and not get scammed.

It annoys me that people would actually consider paying outside of Amazon.



You need to go to China

Lololol, probably true.


Ah wth, in fairness Amazon have been very decent in the past with everything normal that I've ever bought so touch wood its fine. If it isn't I'll just send back and get moohlah back. If it does go okay, then that's saved me some money.
