depends on the value ... I wouldn't buy a car. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 16:30 7

      - yeah it's be silly to string the buyer along if you weren't serious. -- nm - Remlik Feb 18, 16:33
      - I could get similar items, but they would cost at least twice as much. - TFox Feb 18, 16:33
I try not to buy from ebay -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 16:30 2
- ditto. I've only ever bought a Simpsons Chess set off of there. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 18, 16:33 1
  - My dad bought two boats off of it. One 26', and then later one 25'. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 16:35
