I'm no expert, I think you made a good decision. I've been watching the coticules on ebay for a few weeks, and it often seems like they go for as much or more than the ones straight from Ardennes (though not always). Especially the combo stones, they seem to go for almost as much as it would cost to buy bbw and a coticule. Even though the members here seen to have had good luck, I still regard the ebay ones with some suspicion. But, then again, I regard pretty much anything on ebay with some suspicion.
