Is this even allowed? I didn't think you could sell an item on eBay unless you had the item in hand. $999.99 is crazy for a K1 & K2. You can buy a K2 and get it faster then this seller can get it to you (and for about $390) and the K1 can be had for a lot less then $500. This is what I call a rip-off and I don't think it'll fly with bidders.
As long as the seller can have the item within 30 days and it clearly states in the listing that it is a pre-order, yes it is permitted.

Now if the seller does not state that it is a pre-order and can't get the item to the buyer within 30 days, it is not permitted.

Unfortunately many sellers do pre-sales or drop-ships without telling the buyer they don't have the item in hand. Those can be a real nightmare.
