Just buy one with PayPal, and you're protected. if it works out, great, buy more. If it's a scam, you just have to wait for the refund. Paypal's cool like that.

Also worth noting, his feedback is 100%, so he's got some credibility. You could always contact him, it might be a christmas sale price.

it would be nice but...
how does refund works on paypal?
i send back the item and click on "Hey paypal, i want a refund" and when the guy receive the item, i get my money back?
I already got scammed once like that (it wasnt with paypal though), i sent back the item and the guy "never got it back"

Yeah, Paypal usually pays you back right away, and goes after the scammer. Once your money is paid back, there's nothing left for you to worry about.

Paypal is basically just an electronic arm between two people's money.

so i just click on, hey i want my money back, and thats all? i have nothing to provide like tracking number of the item i send back?

I think you have to provide proof that it wasn't as advertised, or whatever, but yeah, they make it a pretty painless process. If I had the spare $20, I'd jump on it for you, and post the results. But alas, I'm broke until Wednesday.
