I don’t buy from ebay, period. But, if the price is best, I will purchase online from LeisurePro, Joe Diver, etc. That being said, I price the gear online, then go to my lds and discuss it with them. More often than not, they will give me a better deal. If not, they are happy to help me find someone who will service it, if it’s a line they don’t sell and service.
