  Just an update. I bought two, and a few minutes later got an email saying the seller has cancelled and being refunded.

  What is this scam?

  Hijacked account, user account created in 2015, logins compromised and taken over by an overseas user who's listing items for prices too good to be true in an attempt to try and scam buyers but probably been reported as suspicious.

  and that, Ozbargainers, is why you should try to have unique passwords for websites. That includes Ozbargain. Change your passwords to make them unique if possible.

  Why are you spending so much on a dashcam?

  Viofo are between $100 and $250 (dual camera) and work great! The police seem to think so too.

  "Too good to be true?"
  if you come up with that question in the first place, then most of the time it is a YES

  I've seen heaps of these before people's ebay accounts getting taken selling iPhones at unbelievably low prices. Purchased one had to file a claim with Paypal

  if you did get it it'd drive you nuts. The Voice recognition is just maddening. I returned mine (I payed full price). Other than Voice its a good cam.
