Oh yeah you can really win and lose off ebay for sure. But it keeps it exciting and I will always purchase from ebay.
For example bought a 99' Black C280 Sport Mercedes a couple years ago, for $9,200 shipped to my door......That was almost 50% off, infact last year I totaled it in a wreck (long story) and got a check from insurance for $15,400 so I made a profit in a way. Thank god my friend sells insurance or I would have a high rate.
