Ultegra gorup set & ebay?

I am looking to buy an Ultegra 6700 group set and have found one on ebay. The seller is in Hong Kong. How much or should this concern me?
Thanks

Not at all. Buyers rule on ebay. I have bought a fair number of new parts from Taiwan.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.

Have you checked the UK sellers like Wiggle, ProBikeKit and Chain Reaction? Their prices may be very competative and their reputations and reliability are extremely good
