I also have a happy experience to report.
I was the successful bidder on a PBG2 & T32 combination on Aussie eBay
(3858505809) - the guy's feedback was good but his description was very
brief, he just said "all items are in mint condition". Nonetheless I got
positive vibes from the guy and decided to try to win it.
Well I did win it. And the package arrived in the mail yesterday. After
tearing it open I proceeded to make all sorts of satisfied grunty noises
and squeals of delight as I examined my new baby. It is indeed in mint
condition with only one very tiny scratch on the lower bracket. I am as
pleased as a pig in poo!
This goes some way in restoring my faith in eBay and sellers in
general. Until now I have had mixed success on the Bay and have received
(and returned) more than my share of duds. But when one has a "win" like
this it restores the faith somewhat.
