Is this screen worth 200?

I see the retail is a lot higher but I know someone selling a Da-lite 88130 for 200?

I know nothing about screens or projectors yet, I still have a lot of research to do, but stumbled upon this screen?

Should I pick it up? I don't see a lot of info. on it. 4:3 ratio, 100"

Here's a link:

This is an in-ceiling screen that is designed to be installed when the HT is built, it's not a stand-alone unit.

It is also quite small if using 16:9 video (effectively about a 91" screen).

The screen material is matte white which means it will need to be used in a HT with absolutely minimal (preferably no) ambient light, and with a PJ that has good black levels out of the box.

The cost of this screen is in it's electronics not it's screen material. It sells for around $2000 so I would question why someone was selling one for only a tenth of that. :huh:

He changed the price to 100 so yea, I can see why you'd be skeptical. I am as well, but it's still in the box.
