$127, claims to be NIB with FS. But note it's from blutekusa not buy.com. Nothing against blutekusa, just never heard of them.
The follow is a public service announcement. That is all.
All the major sites have been copying Amazon's marketplace concept making it more difficult to determine who you are purchasing from.
Examples:
Amazon
* Ships from and sold by Amazon.com (trustworthy)
* Sold by ______ and Fulfilled by Amazon (trustworthy)
* Ships from and sold by ______ (not trustworthy)
Newegg
* In stock. (trustworthy)
* In stock. Sold by ______ (not trustworthy)
Buy.com
* Ships from and sold by Buy.com (trustworthy)
* Ships from and sold by ______ (not trustworthy)
Ebay (not trustworthy)
* exception is online retailers such as buy.com and newegg.com have ebay "stores" now but you have to check if they really are who they say they are.
buy.com: http://myworld.ebay.com/buy/ (trustworthy)
newegg: http://myworld.ebay.com/newegg/ (trustworthy)
Now, I'm not saying don't buy from "not trustworthy" sources, "not trustworthy" does not equal "untrustworthy". But for "not trustworthy" sources need to check the seller rating, RMA policy, etc.
