Lowepro Compu Trekker AW

Can anyone tell me if they have any experience with buying goods from the far east on Ebay. The feedback from this seller seems excellent, but will the bag turn out to be a fake?

I'm in need of a bigger bag as my collection of kit is ever increasing! I don't see the point in spending £150 in Jessops when I can get it there for £59.99..

If you searched these forums for all the other posts concerning buying goods cheaply from eBay and/or the Far East, you'll see the risks associated with that.

The advantage of buying in the High Street in the UK is that the goods are likely to be genuine, problems are more readily solved if you are not happy and there aren't any unexpected import duties or taxes. Why not compromise and find a dealer in the UK selling at prices that are keener than Jessops? This shouldn't be too difficult. I bought two LowePro bags from Devon Camera Centre last year whose price was almost half the Jessops price (they had them on special offer). A quick check shows that they list this bag at £103.99 which is midway between the two but guarantees genuine stock and fast delivery from a reliable UK supplier.
