    Default SM58 Good price or not?

    I just found this and I was wondering if its too good to be true with most SM58 retailing for around £75 to £90.

    £53.17 sounds like a before VAT price to me - still with the VAT on it's only £63.80 - so still a good bargain.

    The trade price is around £75+VAT, so I'd be very careful.

    This price is for the LC version - Dont ask me if there's any difference. But the price would demonstrate it's an inferior product to the SM58

    Hope this helps

    Edit: No difference - It's just that the cable isnt included

    Yea, that’s a good point and that’s why I was checking.
    I think it is too good to be true, I can’t find a phone number on the site and the domain name was first registered on 21-Mar-2011.

    If you try to do an "express buy" it actually points you to this item on Amazon: -

    Shure SM58 Vocal Microphone: Amazon.co.uk:...Shure SM58 Vocal Microphone: Amazon.co.uk:...

    Re the 24Retail site: -

    Uses free shopping cart software (Zen Cart)
    Doesn't use an SSL for account info.
    Recently registered domain name (March 2011)
    Registered as an individual - opted out of WHOIS database

    Is that alarm bells I can hear ringing?

    But, his nameserver domain (host333.co.uk) is also showing as the same registrant, and at least there is an address given there: -

    For the sake of a couple of quid wouldnt you rather piece of mind? Just look at the ebay sm58 scams for example.

    SM58-SE (on/off switch) £96 can't go wrong, I bought one a few weeks back from these guys.
