Guys. It's about choice. You have an option of getting it for 250E, under certain conditions. It's just a special offer, nobody's twisting your arm. If you think it's reasonable, go for it. If you find it lacking for whatever reason (warranty, VAT, not getting Nora's phone number, you name it), you can always opt for regular channels. In simpler terms, you have the choice of deciding if the (non-DOA) warranty and flaky DDP comms is worth ~350 euros to you.
