No, he is not. I am a new Zaurus owner who got his from shanetso at $395 on December 12. I was almost going to be a victim of jpettins but before things exploded around here I took the time to check what else he had been selling and he (pettins, not shanetso) had only sold multiple ET the Extraterrestrial books for US$0.01 so I did not trust him. My ebay transaction number is 5737274915 and you can still check it. It arrived new, in original packaging, no dead pixels. The amount you see shown is because it was shipped to Guatemala, Central America.
If someone is going to buy from him he never answers email, but he lists a phone and he answers it. It was my first ebay transaction, I had to pay by very insecure means (money order is the only way to pay for some international transactions), I had only 400 to spend, I had already lost 2 or 3 bids for 5 or 10$ difference, so I took my chance with this guy after reading almost 200 random transactions he had made. Hope it helps. My comment: at that price better get a 3k from pricejapan or wait for him to land from space and fix the price.
