I know about the all the stuff mentioned above about ebay. But I'm still not a fan of ebay. I guess having worked in a home and car audio shop which allowed me to buy things at dealer cost have kept me away from ebay. Still many high end companies have no internet sales policies so I'd rather deal direct. I've seen many people get screwed by buying from ebay. Someone would bring in a product for us to install it would fail. They would try to get it repaired under warranty and fail. Just not for me.
