I was on ebay a little earlier looking at baitcast reels to buy. I see alot of top quality reels that are waaaaayyyyyyy cheaper than the reg price and the title states its new.... Anyone have any input or expierence buying gear on ebay?

We do ebay all the time.....I have sold our three wheelers, camper, scooters, just about everything .......I also buy alot of there.....problem with ebay is..one (shipping) and another the price don't usually go up until the last hour or so...unless it is a buy it now price....Some girl bought my 83 honda 185s for 650 and then had it shipped to beverly hills in a crate for another 500 because she had one when she was little.......crazy huh? Anyway you can find almost anything you are looking for on there.....We even bought our tankless water heater off ebay. We also bought our hardwood hickory flooring two different times off ebay from new york and it was 250 each time we ordered a pallet. Just depends how many people are bidding on the items. I haven't had any bad issues yet but Im sure other people have.....Be sure to check the feedbacks on the sellers.....hope that helps...

I've bought a lot and sold a few items on Ebay. One bit of advice...the only time I got ripped off was by someone who refused to accept payments by paypal. Do yourself a favor and set up an account with them. It's good insurance in case a seller disappears after taking your hard earned money.

Also, as Bam Bam pointed out, check the feedbacks, especially the most recent ones, and make sure they aren't all accounts with only 1 or 2 for their own feedback scores (otherwise known as shills).

Very nice point life....
I set up my paypal account a lonnng time ago..
For the most part ebay is pretty safe....there are still several of us that are just honest people...

we do alot of ebay buyin and sellin. one tip is to try and stay away from some of those electrical devices. i have bought a few reels on there and they have all been in very good condition.
