At that price I could build a system for the house a little at a time...the best deal I know of here stateside is the Harbor Freight 45 watt 3 panel kit for $138 when its on sale. I try to buy American when I can but now so much stuff locally comes from overseas anyway and I don't think anyone here can touch that price...I would be willing to try it for $32 bucks...will be interested to see your report on it.

If I'd need solar, I'd pay 1 buck more for this :-)

Only eight feedbacks.. and all for 'crap" (not the solar stuff) and on ebay for about ten months.. To plagiarize Shakespeare, "Something is rotten in the state of China."

The folks at WindyNation are very helpful. Maybe give them a call and ask about the ebay ad and get their opinion. They might want to know if someone is selling knock-offs of their product under their name.

No but for $1 more I could set them in the sun if our rig was parked under a tree and you don't have to use both panels you could keep the other for a spare.

No need for the question mark.. its a fact.

Perhaps the listing was removed because they misplaced the decimal point and it should have been listed at $320?

I haven't looked at these panels, but do know that quality panels were selling for around $1.50 a watt recently and that is just for the panel. A decent controller is in the $80 range. I look forward to hearing how these work out. I presents have 200 watts in moveable panels so am not in the market.

I think the eBay seller must have seen them selling like hotcakes and realized the price error and then pulled it, when I looked at it before it went down 15 units had been sold...

Either a pricing error, or the seller's account was hijacked by a fraudster. I hope the former, in which case the seller might make good on the deal.

I'm tempted to say if you can't believe it, don't believe it. But then, sometimes real deals do pop up. I missed out by a few hours on a 17' Casita, 12 years old, for $5500 about a week ago. Less than an hour from here. When I called she said it had already sold. (No surprise there.)
