Personally, I've had overall little trouble with the big auction houses like MastroNet, Sotheby's, Lelands, Christies, Mike Gutierrez Auctions, and usually have little hesitation when bidding in their auctions.

eBay CAN be a good place to buy, but buyer has to be knowledgeable and on the ball. There are a number of A+ sellers who are as expert and reliable as anyone at MastroNet or Sotheby's; the vast majority of sellers are honest amatuers trying to do a good job and more often you get what is described in the auction; 5 percent are incompetant and perhaps 1 percent are trying to steal your money.
