Don't just look at his feedback score. Read the feedback

I not only look at the score and read the feedback, I view as many of their completed auctions as reasonably possible and necessary. This helps me determine if they're junk peddlers, average people, or using eBay as their legitimate store front.

When you say that you save money on eBay, is that from buying things listed as "new"? I would love to trust those "new" items, but I'd hate to pay good money for something that could be a refurbished or used product packaged to look new. I've found SO many auctions that hide a product's refurbished condition deep within the fine print, I feel like I can't trust them. And I've had so many obnoxious experiences with refurbished products (mainly portable phones exchanged with the manufacturer since they broke so quickly).

I really want to save money by purchasing new items on eBay at low prices. Like when I met a guy who had my same brand new, just released camcorder, but he got it for $400 less on eBay. I would love to hear positive feedback on buying new items to help dispell my cynicism (and help save me some $$$).

(P.S. the glorious 21" monitor I've been using for the past 6 years was purchased off eBay at a $400 savings. it was my first eBay purchase and one of my best. i actually went to the seller's house (in-state) to pick the item up. was it stolen, refurbished, overstock, or just a great deal? i'll never know.)
