These dealers are popping up faster than dandilions. It's the drop ship game. Everyone is jumping on board. I just looked at the ebay feedback they pointed to and there are no scooters. Just cheap guitars. Drop ship, for some of you who don't know isn't evil but it's a way to be in the bus with no money down. Sure, just sign up to be a dealer..open a website for $10 and take orders. The dealer never even sees the bike. Until a dealer establishes a reputation, I would stay away. Just my $0.02.

Lee, do you know anything about the Roketa brand? is it the same mfg. that Baron uses? Gs Motorworks has a similar scoot also at a close price.

Actually that price isn't all that impressive, I'm not sure how the Sicily prices compared to the Cayman 150, but a local B&M Roketa dealer has that for about $1299 or $1399, so this isn't a bad price, but if you're shopping solely on price, you should be able to do better than that online. As to quality, my local Tank dealer rates Roketa as being the same in quality, and the local Roketa dealer raves about the quality of their dune buggies, they picked up Roketa after failing to destroy one of their buggies in a six way shoot out, and assume their scooters are just as good.
