ebay has it's shady side...but i've had an excellent track record. of the 40 or 50 transactions i've had, only one has turned out sour, and it was for a couple cheap records...total loss maybe $15 or so. no big deal.
if i went and bought 40 or 50 cars from private owners, i'd be lucky to get 95% satisfaction with those cars. sure i'd get the car each time, but it might not be what i expected at all.
private sales are cheaper, but that's the risk you take.
