how much Note 4 is retailing here for? officially?
~₹56k.
If he buys from eBay, and with coupon being applied price will be somewhere around 46.5k, so he will be able to save around 9.5k. Now if he really cares for warranty he should spend that extra amount and have peace of mind. One more thing, even if he gets the eBay non warrantied version he can still go to Samsung SC and ask for service, the only difference will be that he'd have to pay for that service rather than free for a manufacturer warrantied device.
This is my 31st phone (not Note 4, lol) and I had to visit SC twice in past 10 years (S2 and Note 2), and both times because of my own toying with a phone, you know I tried my best to crap up the phones, so I don't care about warranty anyway, because of this reason, and the one in the above paragraph.

Note 4 is overpriced, every phone is at launch. Now does it wise to spend 47k for it, or 56k? For my idiotic brain the former seems to be the case.

talk about worst case scenario...
As a buyer you should always be prepared for the worst case scenario. But as I said, this seller is good (along with few others), and he could be trusted. A member with that much positive feedback (not all feedback can be bought) and a member for over 10 years, well, not bad.
