Don't know about that, he's clearly more knowledgeable than you along
with not sharing your personality disorders.

You have a good point IMO, definitely should consider that
possibility. There is also the possibility of getting very
valuable stuff for almost free. You pay your price and you take
your chance. And eBay can be a good way to get rid of stuff you
simply do not need any more. I received a surprisingly good price
for a mainboard with memory and CPU that I could not have given
away locally. I try to shop elsewhere, partly because many times
the price on eBay is more than what I would pay at a good online
store, in addition to the risk. But eBay can be especially useful
for hard-to-find items.

The expression "your experience may vary" probably fits very
well.

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

EBay is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, but it can be useful if
you are fleeing the Empire.
