Price looks great. Haven't heard of the dealer. You could try posting on rec.sport.paintball to enquire as to their probity, service, personal hygiene etc.
As for the price, it may be remanufactured, ie. a marker that was returned because of a defect, fixed up, and resold (usually with a warranty, although that may vary). You should ask the dealer before buying, not that remans aren't a good thing. Mine was, and since it's a Brass Eagle, it was a good move; at least I knew that it would work.
One thing to beware about buying Spyders across the border is that they're manufactured in the Orient, they do get dinged in terms of duties; you'll pay more than just exchange if they declare it properly on the shipment.
Also, don't forget you will need an elbow and hopper, which I think are included in the Bigfoot package, and a bottle (12 oz or 16oz would be OK for a vertical bottle mount). All in all, it may not prove to be that much cheaper, and if you buy from Bigfoot you'll have peace of mind, more or less local service, and you'll be protected by the Consumer Protection Act (Quebec) which has some pretty serious teeth...
