Hacking Is it safe to buy an EZ Flash Omega off eBay? (And what’s the SD card for it?)

They sell for around $50 CAD on eBay but are they safe to buy? If it’s not too much to ask, can someone refer me to a cheap and trusted seller? (eBay or not)

Also I saw some posts saying smaller SD cards work better on the Omega. But I’ll probably get a 16GB. Is there a brand that works better? Do UHS and class matter?

Edit: meant to write “What’s the best SD card for it?” in the title

i think that's just the normal price, no?
no catch, i can see them on ebay too, if it's not right ebay will give you your money back so don't worry so much.
about the sd card, i doubt it's very picky. class is important for writing speed, there isn't lots of data being written so you won't need to get a particularly 'fast' sd card. :)

Oh I guess I’m overly paranoid. I assumed the ones on eBay were fake. I just ordered one for $50 CAD from a seller that ships fast and has 100% feedback. Thanks everyone.
