Ebay is a great place for old electrical gear like pulse clocks and masterclocks, also reel to reel tapes I have bought NOS.
I have bought quite a few items over the last 3 years and had no problems with the dealers.
I check the feedback rating and 95% or better is fine to me.
Have done about 44 buys and my profile is 100%.
In one case I bought a clock in Italy and was quoted air freight, post office there said that no surface option was available hence very expensive postage. When the seller posted the clock the post office had a lower rate to NZ. the seller offered me a refund for the extra I paid via Paypal or could sent me another clock of the same type for free. I opted for the other clock. and the second parcel arrived in due course.
I have to say that postage is the killer and is very expensive up to 20 Kilo's.
For bidding the best is to wait to the last minute and stick to your budget.
