I have purchased approximately 30 items over e-bay over the last three years and generally I have to say the experience has been good. I've been able to get several things that I think would have been otherwise difficult, including what I would consider one or two really good buys. I've also been burnt but not too badly, since I'm usually careful. I almost never bid unless there is a picture and I never ever bid, if its someone who doesn't have references. The other thing I take into consideration is shipping costs. What may seem like a good purchase price is not so good after you factor that in. This is especially true of freight cars. One time I bid a fair but low price on about six cars by the same seller figuring that if I won at least four I'd have them at a good price. Well I only won one and ended up paying about $12 for an $8 car. The other thing is you can search only HO Equipment by clicking onto the HO line at the top of an HO item. This will bring you to a page with only HO equipment and you can narrow your search from there. Just call me long winded, Mark
