Honestly, it sounds reasonable. If you don't mind or you're BuyItNow-ing the SSD, give me a link to the auction and I'll check for any hints of scam. Again, it sounds totally legit.
It's an ok price. The lowest price I've seen them sold for is $310. Then again compared to amazon your saving $133. Some will say for the new model to come out in October. However, I personally have the Samsung 470 128GB model and love it. It just works. I was going to wait for the new model but giving how I got mine new for $150 I knew the new one was going to cost more and I would have to wait for real world results to see if it shows any problems like other drives have. Honestly, it's all up to you. I think the price is good and if you can afford it go for it and you'll be glad you did.
Off topic, but I would kill to have your internet speed. How much do you pay for it?
its at an institution - i wonder how often he actually hits those speeds, and what limitations there are restriction wise :/ ?
yeah, it is new. it was a bid and i have already won it for 300$ but now i am wondering if it may be a scam, but the seller is highly rated. According to him it is a brand new SSD sealed in its anti static packaging, and it is not an OEM version ie it comes in a metal case that 470 comes in, not the PM810 plastic casing.
well it sounds alright then - given the results from other posters here, it sounds like a decent price. buy it and see
Nah i usually get over 100mbps on speediest.net. So yeah that is pretty much the avg i get. 120mbps in my sig was the highest i ever got and there are no restrictions. I love college internet, now if only i had enough free time to actually make some use of it.

Georgia Tech huh, so that means you got rejected from Caltech and MIT.

You mean the Georgia Techs of the West Coast and the North
Cox around here had uncapped Docsis 3.0 speeds for a while, not sure if they still do or not. I knew some people were getting 130mbps+ downstream speeds with the "ultimate" tier of their high speed internet. I think they advertise the speeds at 50/5 for $80/month.
