Buying Sz160p/c from ebay

The price of a unit i saw on ebay is good(they even include 2GB upgraded ram) and I can avoid sales tax. The owner has a 3 year Accidental warranty and says that its transferrable. Should I jump the offer?

$2700
SZ160 P/C
3 year acidental warranty
upgraded 2GB ram
docking station

used for a month

 

I paid $1800+$230 for ram for my sz120. The 160 has the carbon fiber lid, LED backlight(which I hear gives better battery life). Besides that I think its the same.
Someone here was selling their sz160 on ebay. maybe its the same one?

 

$2700 for 2GB RAM and a 3 year warranty is a fantastic price for a NEW machine - do you know why he's selling it? Is something wrong? How long has he had it? Where did he get it from? If something is wrong, can you return it? All questions you need to answer before proceeding...

If there is nothing wrong with the machine, that is a good deal, considering what you are getting with it and the sz160 is not in stock in a lot of places.

sz160 - 2,500
2gb ram ~ 180
docking station - 200
warranty ~ 300?
and you are avoiding sales tax too...

got this when i failed to win the bid on ebay ~_~

 

also is the RAM on the vaio SZ-160 512mb x 2? or 1x 1gb?

 

512 x 2 both located at the bottom of the notebook.

 

Just wondering if I get the notebook from some online retailer like JC computers, is it possible to get the sony extended warranty directly from sony? I wanna avoid the sales tax and then get the warranty from the local sonystyle store, is that even possible?
