With anything on the Internet you have to be patient, research, look closely and sometimes ask questions. EBTH gives you the chance to look at items from a far. You have to determine if it meets your needs. Since you not looking at the items in person those items may or may not have issues. But EBTH tries to repeatedly give a good round picture of the product to the buyer. Having purchased many items from EBTH I have been more then happy with the results! If you have questions on an item and do not have the answer, do not buy the item! Auctions are always a gamble. Good Luck!
