Don't buy nuthin' if the seller has no rating! Check feedback! Actually, from the feedback ya' can sometimes get email addresses of folks who have dealt with the seller!

If ya' find something, don't bid until there's only 1 minute left and bid according to what you are willing to spend and not the current price because it will go up in increments and msomeone may have more than the increment bid and then you won't have time to trump their bid.

Email the seller before bidding and ask lots of questions.

I have both bought and sold on ebay for the last two years and if you're smart, you do fine.

The only guitar I've bought is a Regal Resonator, which was new and I love it...

Steve-o: I see you like SS Stewert's. I've got an early 50's (maybe late 40's) F-hole tenor with an aftermarket pickup that I'm not playin' since finding a good deal on my '35 Gibson tenor. If you have any interest, PM me. I'll let her go relatively cheap.
