I bought both of my MB's on Ebay. The 420SEL was in Pittsburgh and I bought it without even a PPI. I got pretty much what I expected. Only slightly disapointed.
The 300D, I bought locally, but havn't had the chance to go over it yet. But again, I doubt if I'll be disapointed, I bought it for $775 after being donated to a charity, so my expectations aren't very high.
