Most of my gear comes from Ebay, reason being is they don't sell JACK around here, never had a bad deal. I always shop between sellers, always watching the price of the item and cost of shipping. One seller might charge less for an item and more for shipping and handeling and another might charge more for an item and less for S&H, so it pays to shop around. Another thing to take into consideration is a sellers feedback before buying, make sure their business dealings are honest.
