Cheap amp at ebay

[ANWKLO]

How come the brand new amp is so cheap? Is it trustable?

The sellers feedback looks OK, he/she has sold a few of the before at the same price, all with +ve feedback. Most of the feedback is for similar value electronics / photo gear so there is a pertinent track record. Might be worth asking the seller f they are new or shop returns, what is the warranty, and why so cheap?

The only thing I'd be wary of is that payment is requested by cheque or balance transfer and NOT PayPal, so a refund could be tough. The amp is from 2009 so is a year old, it may be bankrupt stock, hence the price.

As above though, feedback is positive

The worst is I am not in UK. I lives in Hong Kong. I have to pay the shipping cost.

It does say payment preferred that way, but the Seller absolutely cannot refuse to take payment by Paypal.

That's true. If you advertise onEbay you cannot refuse to take payment via Paypal as far as I am aware - the two are linked somewhat.

As suggested these are 'last years models' and have been superceded. Probable bankrupt stock for sure.

Check on warranty. All new Roksan gear has a five year warranty.

Since the amp is not bought from official dealer in Hong Kong. There is no warranty
in Hong Kong.

I think you know the answer then.
