A couple things that worry me...

- Look at his other auctions. 42" flat screen TV's for $2500?
- You can't pay directly with a credit card. Almost all electronics stores that I know of have this option.

I may be wrong but something just doesn't feel right. I also would not buy something from Israel that only accepts money orders or checks. Lastly, someone should ask him to e-mail or post a picture of the empegs (with a dated newspaper).
