"yea I saw that but id rather do a trade or buy one on here so that I have a guarenteed buy unlike in the auction on ebay"
Elaborating on what Bettyboy72 said, I'd definitely feel safer buying on eBay. You're not guaranteed a buy either on a random message board. At least on eBay, if something goes wrong, you can get your money back because your essentially signing a contract to buy. Here you could lose it since you're not signing any contract. I don't know of any specific incidents here, but just my two cents.
