I would not recommend Ebay either. Why I think the BC2 can be easily shipped, most sold are MK1 and I would want MK2 as there were significant improvements in the user interface.

For BS9000, it is fragile and while I got mine off ebay the discount was so large that some 500$ for repairs would still have made it a good deal.

Both is really really pleasant if it fits your budget.

Ebay is a complete joke. I sold antique golf balls on their up until recently when I decided to close my account and use professional auction houses instead, or deal privately. People want something for nothing on Ebay. If they are not complaining about the price they paid for the item, the unreasonable postage costs, or the packaging, they are complaining about something else. The listing fees, reserve price fees, Paypal fees and other fees in between are an insult. The time required to photograph items then describe them all is a bit too far fetched for me and I can't be bothered with all the effort for such little reward. You only ever contribute to Ebay/Paypal's business, not your own. While I have had some pleasant and straightforward transactions with polite and friendly people, many others I have had to deal with are complete idiots. I have lost interest and wouldn't bother with Ebay for anything at all again.

You get what you pay for in life. If you want a BS9000 go to a dealer and buy one brand new. Then sit back and enjoy it without any unnecessary worries playing on your mind.
