Firstly, welcome to Ironworks [img]smile.gif[/img]

As far as buying computers on ebay goes - on the whole, it's perfectly safe. Just make sure you buy from a reputed seller (with many positive feedbacks). Also, take the time to find out what it's going to cost you in shipping - a lot of the time you can get a seemingly good deal, but then get absolutely hammered on the shipping and insurance.

If you need any more help or advice on ebay, you can always PM me, since I'm quite the guru in that field

Septfox got a laptop on eBay, and it's sweet for an older one. Like Arledrian, I'm eBay savvy---I help run a company which has quite an eBay presence as part of its operations. Feel free to PM with questions. But beware: *always* read the seller's feedback for potential problems with other transactions, read their terms carefully, and if it sounds too good to be true, guaranteed it is.
