> No...I think people that "buy" on E-bay, need an education. I have made many successful and legitimate purchases on e-bay. No pianos but nevertheless I think the majority of e-bay sellers are honest. E-bay can be very valuable when you are searching for difficult to find items such as specialty tools, antiques, or just parts for something else that has missing components. I found specific missing parts for a particular model Delta sander that hasn't been made in 20 years. I bought a gas pressure gauge I needed for inspection on our new building for $3.00 which worked perfectly. I even bought an antique 3-slot Northern Electric payphone for the phone booth I picked up last year, (surely you remember that crazy story- check the archeives if you missed it). The rule is to use be wise when placing bids. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. If you have questions, ask the seller. If you are speculative about the seller, check the "seller feed-back" section to see if there are any complaints. Certainly there are risks but there can be rewards too.
