Did you check out their "feedback"? What kind of status did they have?

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Buying on eBay is
a gamble. If you're not in the mood to gamble, you shouldn't be doing
it. If you think bidding on eBay is like buying from Sears or Circuit
City, you shouldn't be there in the first place.

Duh.

Well, double-duh.
> That's my advice and I am going to post this allot too.
