has anyone purchased a clip from ebay ? I'm very insecure about this ,...

I purchased a clip a few years ago (outside of ebay). I took a risk and went with a newer company. Luckily everything worked out pretty well.

some considerations:

-Try to stick with a company that is located in the US. That way you have a better shot to resolve a dispute if one arises. Over seas or across the border gives them the freedom to screw you over.

-Absolutely pay with paypal. No exceptions. This gives you the greatest amount of protection.

-Do your research and ask the right questions. Demand a compression test video and have them prove they are indeed showing the results from your particular clip. Some places will even start the engine in the clip for you, which is a huge plus because it confirms that all of the electronics work.

-Beware of clips that seem to be modified. It stands to reason that the kind of person that modified the engine, was the same kind of person that beat the crap out of it. Stay away from those.

-know everything about the engine before you buy it. everything. That way you can spot anything that looks strange in their photos. It's really easy to hide huge problems in something as complex as a clip.

Ebay does give an added layer of security, but in the end, a part of it still comes down to luck. I say at least be mentally prepared to do a complete overhaul on the engine before tackling a project like this.
