question concering EBAY

Nacht · Jul 1, 2004, 03:51 AM

Ok, I really really want a 6800GT, I can't hold it any longer. I found this one on Ebay for a pretty good price:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

It is the BFG OC card, so I know it's a good quality card, but the only thing that concerns me is the ebay aspect of it. Do you guys feel pretty sure that this isnt going to end in a 400 disaster for me? I think it looks ok.

My other option is to wait for Circuit city to get them in...but I'm not sure when or what cards they will be getting. I can get a little price cut I think because my bro works there.

What would you guys recommend?

For an example notice this ebay item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...105916395&rd=1

See the "PayPal Buyer Protection - Free coverage up to $500"

If you don't see this you are not covered.
You can pay for additional coverage beyond the "free $500.00" limit.
I did that when I got my last barebone system off of EBAY. It was like 10% of the cost I think, but well worth it.
So if something goes wrong you don't have to go after the selller, EBAY will. And EBAY will get you your money back.
