That does seem too good to be true. Something just doesn't seem right. That Seller has only been registered since August. Other auctions that show positive feedback are for items like weed trimmer line. Almost looks like it is a scam to me. $10 shipping for the dish/receiver/motor ? That's too cheap.
(Just my opinion...)

It's probably a mistake that won't be cleared up until one person makes the purchase , I saw this before with a 120 cm dish where the shipping was underpriced and later the listing was closed and updated.
When mistakes happen on Ebay the person listing it isn't neccesarily accountable , they have a right to not complete the transaction especially if there was an error.
You can contact seller with your concern on items being listed or shipping charges , I would definitely buy that combo for $100 , who knows they may even honor that price and take a loss even if it's a mistake.

I got a reply back on the deal. The price should be $150 , but he will honor the $100 if I choose to order.
"Hello Brent,
Thank you for contacting The Outdoor Store! The listing should actually
read $150.00 but if you would like to order, I will leave the listing until
after your order to honor the pricing that you have already expected. Hope
this helps!

Even at $150 it's a bargain.

I think they'll be happy to ship it. They said they really appreciate having our guys know about the package.
For that price I'd consider picking one up. But, alas, no ship to Canada.
That'll keep the wife happy, though.

Now he's got two non-motorized systems listed, with different-sized dishes, for the same price. I could understand not having a significant price difference for 10cm difference in dish size, but I'm still not seeing how he can afford to ship these.
couple thoughts on the low shipping
-its legit
-he's using someone else's fedex/ups accopunt (we had that happen before here actually)
-its coming by pony express so it will take a month to get to ya

He's got more systems available (this time without motors) for $110 with $10 shipping. Includes Merc II receiver, 80cm dish and single universal LNB, even that is a steal of a deal for someone just getting into fta.
The guy may be legit, but I'd still be a little cautious. Pay using Paypal so that you can dispute it if you don't get the goods...
Paypal or a credit card. I suspect credit cards are better protection. That's how I pay my PayPal balance, in case I need to dispute THEM !
congrats
You did very well.
That was worth 3 x $50 (= $150) easily, for receiver, dish, and motor.
Not to mention $20+ for shipping.
But as commented above, it was just too good to be true, so I didn't take a chance.
