Buying from a Hong Kong based ebay seller?

meanpeoplesuck

Thinking of buying one of these:

http://cgi.ebay.ie/New-HIS-ATI-Radeon-HD-4670-IceQ-512MB-PCIe-Graphic-Card_W0QQitemZ140271319999QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140271319999&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

Including shipping (listed in Australian dollars for some reason??) it should come to just under 90 euro. Considering no Irish sites have even listed this particular version yet (the Sapphire version is meant to be noisier) this doesn't seem bad at all.

I've never bought off a Hong Kong ebay seller though. I've just avoided sellers from Asia as I assume the stuff is probably going to be fake or black market or something.

Anybody got experience in this department?

Dunno bout You, but I'd rather spend €20 more on a warranty that doesn't mean having to ship to Hong Kong if anything goes wrong. Get an aftermarket cooler for a Sapphire, Sapphire available here

I bought a nokia charger from there.

Thought it worked fine initially but it takes twice as long to charge a phone.

Wouldn't buy anything of this guy, there's enough bad comments some fairly dodgy ones too.

No way avoid it forget it as said you could get stung with a customs charge plus a longer wait and no warranty.
