Is This Legit?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ibanez-SR-5-String-Bass-Guitar-SR20TH5-Prestige-LTD-Ed_W0QQitemZ140277664809QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140277664809&_trkparms=72%3A1298%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I found this on the 'bay, and it's almost like a dream come true for me. There's one of these down at my local, played it, loved it, but it's been there since it was made, s the price is still around £1200 as it was before. There's no way in hell that I have that amount of money, so I placed my hope on the used market. And after 2 years one has finally turned up. I'm really interested in getting this, but I just want to make sure that it's legit. What say thee TB?
 
Looks legit to me. But Ibanez basses must be much more expensive in UK than USA. >$2000 for an Ibanez bass at a shop? YIKES.

They are indeed great basses. Grab one while you can!

Things are so much more expensive over here, I'll try and get it, but I'm still negotiating it with my parents for them to pay half and for me to pay the rest, so I get it as a birthday/christmas gift.

Edit:

Have you thought about getting one from someone used in the states and having it shipped over?

That would probably cost just as much, if not more.
