Amp on eBay shipped from Japan?

Anyone purchase an amp on eBay shipped from Japan? There are some good deals on new Luxman Amps but the sellers look suspicious.

It was near Christmas so he gave me free shipping! No problem with payment/shipping.

Make sure you're getting manufacturer warranty. Also, pay special attention to voltage specs (especially when importing to US).
