I sent messages to both the buyer and seller, and not that I expected an answer, I'm still waiting for one.

I understand man. At first I was completely terrified of giving some stranger money and hoping I get what I want in return. But just recently I purchased numerous parts for my 240 on e-bay, and I couldn't be happier. Most of them arrivd within a week regardless of where they were coming from and were in great shape! It's worth it trust me. Saving the money on the parts can add up, and over the past 10 parts I bought I saved probably around $400-$500.

Actaually, TMS, that's a great idea. If I had extra monitors (I used to have four or five extras...but I had no room for them...) I'd do a low end 'net surfer machine with dual monitors. I could have NICO and SteelBattalion.org up at the same time! SPOON!

I just got done spending like 3 or 4 hundred on Ebay. You just have to watch who you buy from. check those feedback scores, and READ THE WHOLE SALE PAGE!!!!

I was watching Nintendo DS's back in early December and saw someone pay a little over $150 for the Super Mario game cartridge. Obviously the guy thought it was for a DS console, but didn't really read the listing. It said in large print in the listign I have the DS system to play this game on in another auction.

Oh, BTW I have LOTS of empty boxes for things. I almost always keep the empty for any electronic item I buy. I think the only cost would be a bunch of negative feedback.
