I have bitten upon "under the radar" listings and...I often got screwed! Look three times and if you wonder...don't bite!
Learning can be an expensive process!

It can be real expensive if you are not cautious in your hunt, ask me, I know.

Exactly what Richard says, and also remember "if it's too good to be true it probably is".

But rolling the dice on eBay is fun, and while we've all gotten burned, I feel like I haven't lost money collectively. The important thing of course is to not pay full price, look and read carefully, ask questions, and try as best you can to know your seller.

Cheers, Steve

I've been playing eBay on the low lower end getting my feet wet. Learning to look past what I want and to see what is there. One marginal buy has taught me a lot. Definitely part of the learning curve.
