Of course, you won't get your money back if you buy from overpriced used dealers (such as the one you have mentioned). I can't imagine who WOULD buy from them if they new better, and I can't imagine how they stay in business with the prices they charge (slight rant ;-) Personally, I use KEH as the benchmark for used pricing. I typically pay at least %10 less than KEH buying from an individual. I'd rather buy from KEH than pay the same from an individual. At least with KEH, they will take it back, no questions asked, if I don't like it, and it comes with a warranty. - ----------------
