Re: [ARSCLIST]
The danger is a very good reason to shop with a vendor, local or
otherwise, that you trust. EBay scams are very dangerous if you aren't
savvy. I bought a 24 track 2" recorder a few months ago on eBay, and
while my transaction was handled well, (I checked out the seller 9 ways
to Sunday first) I was bombarded by hoax/scam efforts made to look as if
they came from eBay itself. Ugly, very ugly !!
Even Guitar Center can be fine under just the right conditions... But
don't count on the support being what a professional may need. Whatever
it is you want, it isn't a 27" TV at Wal-mart. The knowledge base may be
there, but don't count on it.

I NEVER shop ebay, just too many scams and spams. It is a place to check
used prices and maybe buy used gear if you know how to evaluate it, but
I personally shop online at a number of the references already given,
then go to get it locally - and find I can get it nearby nearly as
easily, without polluting the air with Fedex and UPS.
But it would help to know what you are looking for if you want sepcific
recommendations... Like where you are located and what type of gear
needed.
