New HMG Packs super cheap on eBay

“Based in the UK”, been a seller for 6 months, 13 reviews, advertising a product for a too-good-to-be-true price.  Please forgive my scepticism, but let us know how that works out :)

This seller was known as karinolisauskien0 (May to Nov 2016)before it changed to Gruncillo.
I cannot find transactions under his previous name.

I was very tempted by the great price on such an amazing HMG backpack but was concerned when I look into their Ebay history.  They were registered in the UK and now they are from Boston, MA.  They only have a handful of ebay feedback and none of it is from any outdoor related gear.  If they had a ebay history of selling gear then I would have been more willing to purchase a backpack.

What also caught my eye was that all of the HMG pics were lifted right from the HMG website.  No side or back side pics and if these are brand new items then there should have been some pics of the backpacks still in the original plastic bags or with the original hang tags.

It just seems to strange for me so I passed.  It’s a pain in the butt to get Ebay involved on getting your money back on a fake transaction.  Ebay generally sides with the buyer but it does take awhile to get a refund.  I hope nobody from BPL gets taken advantage of.

WARNING !!!!
from HMG :

We were made aware of this seller earlier today and can say with a fair amount of certainty that it is fraudulent. We highly advise against making any purchases from that seller.

Good to know; thanks!

I am looking at the prices and it doesn’t appear that it is a “super deal”. Looks like HMG is havig a sale so you are saving only $7
