"Darwin, Keith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I do a lot of e-bay transactions, both as buyer and seller. So far, very few issues and nothing unresolved. E-bay provides a source of gear that is hard to find elsewhere and provides a pool of buyers that is hard to duplicate. It works, period.
I disagree with people who say e-bay means you'll pay too much or everything there is junk, or (my favorite) that all e-bay sellers are crooks. Sorry, but a lot of sellers are no more honest or dishonest than the sellers on QTH.com or any other classifieds site. In all cases you need to know what your buying and do the deal with your eyes open. Personally, I prefer e-bay sellers with feedback rating in the 100's, accumulated over many years to the sellers with ratings in the thousands. A feedback rating in the 1000's means he's a dealer and you're more likely to be treated as a number. Three of the four issues I've had have been with these sellers. And I very much appreciate the "warning" about Radio-Mart. I've looked at his stuff and have been tempted many times, but so far he's never had just what I was looking for. With the new info, I can be a bit more wise about reviewing what he has for sale.
