Kayak Scam perhaps!!!

[roughwater71]

I shop on Amazon a lot and I was gonna purchase my very first kayak. It's the "NATIVE SLAYER PROPEL 13". It's a very nice boat and next to the Hobie's. The want $2,599.00 for the copperhead, but then I saw a seller (just launched) that had the same exact kayak for sale for $400.00. The listing said brand new! It said that I had to email them first before I buy it, so I did. I told them I was very interested in buying this kayak, but I asked what was wrong with it. They replied, Nothing at all, it just needed a home. Then "Amazon sent me an invoice to purchase the kayak. I had to get an Amazon gift card for $400.00 and ad it to my account. Now that's exactly how I purchase all my merchandise on Amazon, but there's no shipping costs. Then I put 2 and 2 together and thought to myself after I pay for the kayak, they have no intentions to ship it out. This is a SCAM!!! What are your opinions on this, is it a scam, or is it a great opportunity. Please let me know, THANKS!!!
