E-BAY experts?

Another thing to be aware of: A lot of sellers on E-bay have at least two accounts, so they actually bid on their own auctions, artificially inflating the price in the process. If they end up with the winning bid, it's not a great loss on their part, and they can just re-list the item at a later time. I don't really have much of anything to do with E-bay, and have never used it to bid, buy or sell anything, but these warnings have come to me from some folks I know who do use it. Just be aware of what you are dealing with, and know the price (including shipping) that you are willing to pay. <br /> <br />A lot of folks probably remember when Chip (a.k.a. Spacemouse) posted regarding his grief concerning a purchase on E-bay. He was promised one thing and delivered something else. So, as in all things involving money, let the buyer beware. I personally prefer to buy new items from reputable vendors, either on or off-line. Even at that, I have at times been disappointed with my purchases at times. I remember ordering some high powered stereo equipment for my first car when I was a kid. It was new from J.C. Whitney. They advertised the product as it was shown on the package, but did not live up to how it was represented. Live and learn.
