I am looking into get a Meade ETX-70AT. I've seen a couple on eBay, but I get skeptical about some stuff on eBay regarding quality and such.

Does anyone here have any experience getting stuff from eBay?

Thanks.

eBay have one too many conspiracist auctions for my liking. :x

I know a lot of people say they deal with eBAy and have great luck, but I buy all my equipment from the local telescope shop, which also has a great website that I use if I would rather not drive there.
I value the fact that if I buy something which is defective or I need help I can go back to them and they can and will help; which has happened a few times.
With articles as expensive and complicated as astronomy equipment can get I wouldnt risk it buying it from a source that has no interest in helping you if and when you may need it, let alone the fact that you have no idea what condition it is in.
Like I said some people say they have had good luck but I wouldnt risk it. That is just my opinion tho.
