There are a couple things I'm considering clicking on one. But I'm wary. They look to be new from "shops" in Japan, not individuals.

Hi Marshall
On eBay I've bought cameras/lenses, photo strobes, not guitars but if I did decide to, the 'rules' would be the same.

On ebay I only buy if seller has 98% or above rating, and the 'negatives' are often 'lame'. They might say things like 'it was two days later than projected' (which in my book coming from overseas is right on time).

I've never been 'stiffed' or gotten bad items in over 2 decades of purchasing used things from eBay. I've never shopped Reverb.
