RE: E-BAY
I do agree. "Caveat Emptor".
I have been very fortunate in not having any problems in purchases made on Ebay. Make sure that you check the sellers profile for any negatives, and read the negatives to at least assure yourself.
My purchases on Ebay consisted of cameras, lenses, model kits (plastic), books, magazines, and of course RC equipment. Before you purchase, check the prices on the legitamate sellers on the net, and then know what the max price should be.
