I always wonder what the story is behind the ebay new
merchandise. Is it stolen? Is it old? Are these really returns or
out-of-date models? I'm sure there are legitimate good deals, but
often the savings don't seem worth it. When my $200 purchase stops
working in two weeks, I'd rather be dealing with a known company than
TonyABC123.
