That one place...
I never have.
But based on the ratings posted above.

20K with close to a 100%
I would buy from that dealer.

One the best ratings I have saw in awhile on EBay.
You should be good.

The main thing I look at from a seller on ebay, is the user reviews.
Read those, that will help you decide your end decision :)

I'm not all that familiar with buying and selling on eBay. I do peruse it and look at prices just to get a ballpark price when I'm taking stuff to a swap. Generally I'll ask about 3/4 of what I see on eBay, and barter from there.

My question is does it cost a seller anything if it don't sell? If they are asking too much on purpose just to see if some fool will buy it, does it cost when it don't go?

Thanks

No cost if it doesn’t sell, but eBay takes a big bite when it does. Also, eBay considers the shipping cost as part of the proceeds. Many sellers will figure these fees and add them to their selling price. Many times if you put an item on watch, the seller will contact you with a lower price, especially if the listing has been up for a while

Ebay pricing is retail. One gets a money back guarantee. Swap meets have almost no overhead. No guarantee either. Too often the "well it sells for on ebay so I want..." isn't reality. What something sells for at the mall versus a yard sale are two different markets. This explains the outlandish prices I see at hamfests.

I've seen stuff on ebay going for twice brand new retail. Totally ridiculous. Like this.
