Damn I hate these dilemma's! Thats a toughie.

I'm always suss about ebay nowadays ever since I got ripped off for £180 on an ipod that never turned up!

I'd go for.......the....um......new one....1 Year warranty and that.

Thats the way i was leaning....its just the thought of running for 2 months on a "Speeze LeopardStream III" is making me feel wobbly on my feet.

But the payoff will be so great XMS!!!!

I'll be on the market for a phase change setup soon myself :) I think I'm gonna go with the Vapochill LS.
 
The only thing i will say in the ebay one's favor is that the guy is insisting that i collect it or arrange for it to be collected - so it is unlikely to be a scam.

Nice :worship:
 
yes the ebay one is unlikely to be a scam however do beware. it seems like a good deal, however i seriously recommend doing an "out of ebay" deal with him. or find a way to view it BEFORE paying any money.

however option b is a sure thing and it depends how you are when it comes to hassle. personally i cant deal with it and i wd rather spend more money for a sure thing that use ebay but this guy seems legit anyway.

but MAKE SURE U GET HIM TO JOIN :anisx: !!!!! he seems like the kind of guy who would be useful to the forums.

Agreed with Dave...ebay is good for cheap stuff and this guy seems ok....but I would rather have a nice warranty and at least some comeback from a decent company, thank-you! :cool:
 
if i were you id get the one from ebay (but no warranty tho :( -- hell if ya regas ur self it u loose the warrenty ne way) such a a hard decision id hate to e runnin @ such low speeds myself personally(for 2 months!!! - mayb geta a loan??--

Bank: well mr jim what do u need this loan 4

Jim: well i need to kik the tar outta the curent super pi score

bank: ah yes all a good cause ok loan granted, and cause it u interest free )
 
Bank: what is this loan for jim?

ROFL!!

I so should phone up the bank and record the conversation for real...lol
 
Where's the collection from? If its not too far away then I'd say A...if its in Scotland or somewhere daft then get the new one. The warrenty is a nice thing to have, but nothing beats having it your hands :)

On a side note, if the guy is relativley close to one of us, then we could probably check it out for you...
