Ebay Run away! run away!!!!!!!

I'll say it again, it has the nicknames ThiefBay and Evilbay for a reason.

My own ebay score is over 7000. My total number of transactions is something like 13,000. I know what I'm talking about. Ebay's going the way of Pets.com and it's getting ugly on the way down. My one, ONE horn buying experience on there was disastrous.

Now, deal with reputable dealers. Pawn shops (know how to test/asses the horn although in a pawn the price will often be so low it won't matter much if the horn needs work) reputable web sites, (of which ebay is NOT one) and so on.

I don't care how nice the horn looks, people use each others' photos all the time.

I got out of buying/selling 6 months ago, actually stopped buying 2 years ago.

The deals are just too good, insanely so compared to RipOffBay prices, to ever jump through all those hoops and deal with crooks on there again.
