Price rules first. I NEVER look at an eBay seller's rep or newness before buying/bidding. If what you offer is a good price/value then that is all I care about it. If you end up being a shitty seller, not packing right, or whatever, then there is eBay Money Back Guarantee. Your trash is coming right back to you at your expense. I may be disappointed and lose some time but I am not losing any money on the deal so I take the risk. Sometimes it pays off sometimes it doesn't. -Ali
