Any reason NOT to buy this E-PL2 from ebay?

Olympus E-PL2 + 14-42mm II PEN Camera KIT w/ 8GB ++++ - eBay (item 160551531741 end time Mar-27-11 13:08:43 PDT)

I think I've been eyeing this camera too much, and the price on Ritz/Amazon just went back up to $600. Pretty sure I'm going to eventually get the PL2. Can anyone think of a reason not to purchase this from ebay?

Any speculation about the price dropping or a deal coming within the next few months?
eg. Staples getting it and being able to stack it with a 20% coupon? (Although tax might kind of negate that)

They were $549 a few weeks ago. Seems Olympus often does $50 off specials.

Buying

Never be in a hurry to buy most things, but especially, cars, cameras, homes and marriage license.

If item is what you want, from 100% seller with a few transactions, and the money is right, may be OK.

Fifty dollar/10% swings may not be palatable for the item, but that is up to you. That is the buyer problem with eBay unless Best Offer option...also look for return permissions.

Lots of these cameras around, so I would hold tight and wait.
