Tom Tom GO at Amazon marketm place

[macgyver]

Hi there,
I am desperately looking for a cheapish sat nav and as I was browsing Amazon for Tom Tom 300, it noticed that there were few private sellers as well selling the same Tom Tom at half the price.
I e mailed them asking whether it was used or refurbished but they say that it brand new and factory packed.
I am confused how is it possible????

What is the catch here? Does anyone know about it?
Many thanks

Finally I have myself found out what was happening there at the amazon market site.
I have posted in the other thread also but since I raised the Q in here as well so repeating it gain over here#

I spent last two days in finding out the truth behind the issue.
There is a gang of these scamsters operating by diffrent names and IDs like andi something, monica maria, I.E.P.D.A@gmail.com, online seller and many more
Their modus operandi is that they put their price as very low like 100 or 150 or 200 or even 280 GBP and when you e mail them asking about the details the will say the same things as mentioned earlier as new boxed factory packed with 1 or 2 or even 3 years guranttee. Then ask you for sending your name and address so that they can pass it on to amazon. By this time they have removed their product from the amazon site so that you cannot buy from there.
Once you send your name and address then you get an e mail from Amazon (faked as it is a spoofed mail id) telling you to deposit the money to the western Union money transfer agent..... Thats the catch... Amazon will never ask you to do that. So report it to amazon at once which I have done at least 8 times in 2 days at <stop-spoofing@amazon.com>.

Hope that I have shed some light on the issue.
As I myself was bewildered at their pricing and the excuses.
