    I've wanted a wheel for ages but haven't been able to afford one. The G920 is the model I want and this seller on eBay is offering them supposedly new for $60 CAD with free shipping. I'm obviously suspicious, but it's not something I want to miss if it's legit. Should I go for it?

    As the old adage goes:
    "If it seems too good to be true it probably is."

    The seller has 100% feedback. It might be a legit deal.

    He only has one review, so that doesn't really mean much. He has other stupidly cheap electronics for sale as well and they seem to be selling like hotcakes. He's apparently sold 77 Xbox One S bundles for $20 each. eBay does have a money back guarantee, but I still don't know. I have a feeling he's either selling hot air or everything's stolen.

    Good point. All I can suggest is follow your own judgement and decide what you think is the best thing to do.

    I'd go for it. The transactions are processed through paypal so if you get scammed, you can easily dispute and get your money back.

    I put it on my watch list and will wait to see if anyone leaves a review. I'm 99% sure it's a scam at this point so I don't see much point in taking the risk myself.

    If i end up selling my ipod in time ill get it and if everything goes through ill post here. but thats probably in the next week or so.
    If you wanna buy it now go ahead, but its almost too good to be true.
    I dont know if its true.
    Ill take the chance when i get the money lol.

    Estimated shipping time for me on the west coast is 7-12 business days, so hopefully someone who lives closer will (or won't) get theirs soon. So many people have bought it, there's bound to be a fuss if they don't show up.
