I've been lucky with what i've bought (only a 6378), and i was very lucky
indeed, it was only missing 3 parts and i got it for $25 total (from Aus.),
another one that same week (from canada) went for $35! Good Deal, but back
to the subject.
I think we should have some place here on LUGnet for posting bad sellers
from here, E-bay, BrickBay, and Yahoo Auctions (any more?). The E-bay
ratings system doen't really help, most people don't even look anyways.
Thats my view...
Josh
P.S. I've bought some MISB sets though...
