I have purchased computer componets for a custom computer... The shipping and handling was expensive as I only had a week to get it all up and running. 40 dollars for Fed Ex from the west coast to my house? No problem. But my mistake was having several instances of shipping that made Fed Ex rich. Next time Ill have them assemble everything in one shipping cost and fly it to me. I did save money versus retail but the S/H was not cheap. Some one says "as-is" is not too good. I use that term because to me it literally is "as-is" it aint mint but not junk either. If I think the item had a problem that made me afraid to offer on ebay I would step right up and explain the issue in the description. I have had sellers do that up front and have won a sale from me due to thier honesty. It helps alot when you need to consider what is fixable and not so easy fix. The internet is a great tool for information but I think human nature is alot of need to make a buck. If I was to add up my ebay sales and stack it against my orginal cost to buy these items brand new I have either broke even or lost money. That does not bother me. I once read a email from a buyer who purchased 4 reefers from me. It said that the buyer is very happy that my reefers are now part of the "Block" and I had in my mind a vision of these happy reefers actually being a part of a train for someone to enjoy. Not sitting lonely and unused in a box. To me; hearing that statement is worth far more than the chance to turn a dollar. Money cannot buy happiness. I take it also in these forums there have been many awesome threads about buying and selling etc etc and I think it is the neatest thing ever. But we need to talk about why people leave mean nasty feed back when a simple email offering a solution to a problem may help both parties instead. To me that is the worst part of any transaction.
