Does anyone know what's up with this ad from Cryptosystems?  These prices
are incredibly low, as in "too good to be true".  I inquired about the
Sony PCV-100 system and they said:

One: SONY PCV-100,   $1130.00

Prepayment of $337.50 Federal Express overseas shipping & Duty taxes

Balance due = $792.50 Upon arrival

Does this mean they included shipping in the price?  Why would they sell
it for so cheap and why would they ship them to the US rather than selling
them over there?  

*confused*
