Too cheap to be true, see below comments from seller:

When you bought this, I will give you my bank account so that you can make a deposit. The deposit should be made within 5 days after bought.
If the deposit was not made within 5 days, this will be re-listed automatically for others.The buyer is responsible for giving a notice to me about the payment and contact phone number within 5 days after bought. Even though e-bay required to click paypal acceptance to list here but I ask the buyer bank transfer to my account.

I looked at it and noticed there was no feedback as a seller, and very little history as a buyer. Half of it was from one vendor, and it wasn't for pm's. Pity, though.
 
Hmm, not much feedback, wants bank transfer so no comeback if the goods don't arrive, price VERY close to spot if you take in postage AND the guy (girl) has a really bad grasp of the english language - though that is not really a measure of how crooked they might be!

I agree with all the above observations and comments.... just out of curiosity however I sent the seller the following question

Hi

How about pick up - meet and exchange cash for the bar? No probs with that hey?

Cheers

And just got a reply

Thank you for your question!
For security and record keeping reason, we need a bank transfer and sending items as a registered mail.

Thank you

Funny thing is they can not demand bank transfer. Pay by pay pal and they have to send it or ebay/paypal gets involved.
Part of selling on ebay is that they have to offer and accept paypal payments.
 
No feedback as a seller at all and most of the feedback comes from a single seller. A penchant for violiny type stuff. I'd give it a miss.
 
1kg post46 threepences and sixpences $429. $22 under spot and free postage. Item number: 200903840966
I remember this name. I may have bought from them before.
