I was kind of hoping for a larger price difference going the Ebay route, but to pay $100 less for a used no warrenty no return one just doesn't apeal to me....If I could pick one up for right around $250-275 for a standard MIM.. it'd be alright, but their shipping is insanely high most of the time.
BUT going new has its own drawbacks...certain colors (yes I care what it looks like too

) seem to be unatainable....whats a girl to do?! LOL
Thanks for the G&L tips as well!!
I'm still looking!!
