people that cry about ebay dont do their homework or they just get screwed. if you buy something from there, take it upon yourself to ask the seller the status of shipping until he tells you. he at least wont forget for more than a day or two. nothing wrong with ebay. money is guaranteed in case someone scams you if you pay with paypal. WIN/WIN. feedback is what its all about. i wont even buy from someone here or any other forum unless they have a certain number of post to solitify their status as someone who is most likely not here to say they are selling this and that on 30 boards, taking your cash and money to the bank and not sending you a thank you card!!
BACK ON TOPIC:
ultimately its YOUR style, YOUR taste, and YOUR rig. do what you want. i say go for it cause you abviously like it. PERIOD
