Always, always READ THE DESCRIPTION COMPLETELY - BEFORE BIDDING !!! Is the product new or used? Like new is not, almost new is not new, open box or open package is not new. Reconditioned, remanufactured and factory serviced is NOT new! Often these items should sell for 30% less than new. Is it used? How used is it? a description such as " used to work like new " is NOT a good indication that the product is in good condition. How many are you bidding on? If the title and description clearly states the description as " 16 Bandana's in 6 styles " - you are bidding on 16 NOT 96, if you have ANY doubt or suspicion about anything listed in the description, email the vendor and get a reply before you bid on the item. Feedback rating of seller - Always, always, always read the feedback comments of the seller BEFORE bidding on a sellers auction. This will indicate thier most recent success or complaints of recent buyers. Find out that a seller has 3 recent negative feedbacks after the auction is too late!
