You know, I agree that it is hard to buy something off ebay these days. Not so much the little $200-$400 stuff- especially when it is a brand new unused item (and therfore not prone to be misrepresented), but large ticket items, especially used cars have a poor track record. I will continue to buy and sell there, but the few (crooks) have ruined it for the many (buyers) as is so true with much in life.
