Hello fellow Large Formatters! Has any out there (or any acquaintances of yours ) had any experience purchasing photo equipment off of EBAY.COM? I go there fre quently and see some pretty nice photo equipment for sale, but was wondering abo ut any experiences -- good or bad.

Something I've been wondering about is that the bidding basically becomes a do-o r-die bidding contest so that whoever ends up getting the item gets it, but at a ridiculous price.

Thanks in advance.
