Is this real Geomag?

I want to buy some Geomag sets for my son (and myself ;) I think ). Anyway, after a quick check in the local toy stores here in Izmir/Turkey and the local online sellers I ended up with nothing, and decided to try my chance on ebay. I found this item, which seemed to have a good price.

http://cgi.ebay.com/GEOMAG-350-PC-SET-a ... 3357ec665c

What put me in doubt is that this item doesn't seem to take place on either old geomagsa or the new geomag product list. Is this item real geomag ?

Another question is, are all geomag products compatible with each other? Say I bought this item, and I want to add some pro sets later on, can I use them together? Besides the magnetic forces are there any other differences between pro and other sets?

I'm new to the subject, hope I'm not bothering you with silly questions.

Yes it is real Geomag. It's not a bad deal, especially if you want a bunch of panels. I picked up 4 of these for 139.99 last year, and just before Christmas this seller actually sold a bunch of these sets at 4 starting at $99, usually going around $110 for 4 sets. Just be aware that the suitcases seem flimsy (although they are sturdier than they seem at first but I still wouldn't use them for anything but panel storage) and that you end up with 84 bars in 4 colors per suitcase and a whole lot of panels (which is why I bought these to begin with since I needed more panels).

If you send the seller a message you can probably get a better deal off of her by buying multiple sets.

All Geomag (and Geomag Pro) is compatible. Geomag Kids has a different size though and as such isn't a perfect fit with regular Geomag (from my perspective anyway).

Thank you Wim, that was very helpful :)

So I better start figuring out a way for shipping to Turkey. I'll need to make some arrangements, probably through a friend who has an adress and been buying stuff from the US. I hope it won't be too late.
