Buying from ebay?

[benzaza]

DId anyone or would anyone buy computer parts from ebay?

Im looking at prices and its possible to save 60-80 bucks on mobo and cpu total..

i am assuming that the power users selling are reliable as they state selling new parts and they have a positive feedback?

anyone has an opinion? experience?

there are a few things to look for if you do buy from ebay, but newegg and tigerdirect is much safer,, if yu do buy from ebay, check the person you are buying from, there feedback and read every line, it could be RAM still in the bag, but in small print say it is 64MB and 7 years old, just double check everything and be safe instead of sorry

My method

If you live in a BIG city,shop in person.Most stores in the GTA give you
30 days free exchange,no ?'s asked.
Why the Heck do people want to return things by Courier.
Then wait for the replacement ? Is this a free,NO COST service ?
I can get a replacement in about a 15 minute drive.No charge.
Future Shop,Best Buy,Canada Computers and many more.

feel free to search old threads here. This has been asked numerous times.
with ebay it is always buyer beware. Do your homework first. You can get good deals, but you can get burned too.
