That warning about high-end computer

equipmenta can apply to most anything. I also like to buy DVD's on occasion (especially those that aren't yet

available in stores in the US...). You can start to tell some sellers are waiting to get enough orders in to place

an order to their distributor as they have to buy in large lots to make it worthwhile.

I also like to opt for

sellers who include a photo/pic of the *actual* individual item(s) they are selling and not some "stock" photo. I

always try to include a pic of what I'm selling to at least give some credence the the fact I have it in hand. At

one time with the Sony PS/3, eBay *required* sellers to have both a pic of the product AND a pic/scan of the actual

purchase receipt (as the only way to get them to sell was to buy one after standing in loooong lines....) to prove

they actually had the product.
