225$? Why would they be selling it less than store price? What am I missing here? Is this legit?

The lower price should be a tip-off that it's somewhat shady. If it wasn't, this confirms it:

Rule #1:

If you have to ask "Is this legitimate?", it usually isn't

Rule #2:

If you're a risk taker, resellerratings.com and google search are your tools for more info.
