Ebay is probably used or Grey Market. Should you stay away? Depends on the sellers feed back.

HHMmmm They do have some recent negative feed back. Sell camping gear. Looks a little sketchy to me...

I would do this one though :)

Abe's used to be "OK" a few years ago (step below B&H / Adorama / Amazon) but at some point they were sold and have apparently gone *way* downhill.

As for eBay, make sure to buy from a US seller with a good feedback. Note that if you buy from a Hong Kong / Chinese seller you are responsible for return shipping costs if there is a problem. For US sellers eBay Buyer Protection covers you for any claim made up to 30 days after purchase. This includes free return shipping if the product is defective.
