Buyer beware?

So, I decided to pick up another D200 body. My brother is taking over half my photo business while I work on writing. Anyway, I find this incredible deal on a D200 body for $549.00. I checked out the site and it all looked good, they looked like an authorized dealer and I was ready to pull the trigger.

My last quick thing I did was click the image of the D200. Go check this out and tell me if you see what I see. Does it say, "F*ck The World" or am I imagining that (top tab)? It's right at the top of your browser when you click the link below. If it does, then somethings shady going on here as I don't see a reputable business making a huge error like this. What I do see is some punk-ass kid creating a black market site to rip people off. Check this out... (link is safe, no worries there)...

Thoughts?

By the way, I'm going to my local camera store (Sammys) to buy the body tomorrow, I don't know what I was thinking buying this online anyway.

I've had a lot of success buying on some other reputable online forums. If you are interested I can PM the other sites to you. My D200 was bought used from a newpaper guy in Cali that also shot a lot of jazz musicians. It had about 30k clicks and I got it with the MB200 for $800. I was happy with the price, even though I've seen "newer" used D200's go for the same or less.
 
now with the D300 out ive seen just the D200 body for under $800 but nowhere near $550... i wouldn't trust that.
