CAUTION: Sennheiser IE800 for $429 at Groupon is sold by unknown seller

When price-checking ans surfing around the interwebs it’s always a good idea to be cautious when parting with your money, especially when it’s more than pocket change. The Sennheiser IE800 in-ears may show up for $429 with free shipping on sale at Groupon Goods but Groupon actual is not the seller. Instead they are sold by a marketplace seller (Groupon has marketplace sellers too, just like Amazon, Sears, NewEgg, etc). Groupon is washing its hands on the transaction: “The merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the fulfillment, delivery, care, quality, and pricing information of the advertised goods and services”. In other words, it is a high risk purchase.
