I never heard of them until in here. I've actually had decent luck with eBay
on stuff, even used stuff. One item I almost didn't was an all-in-one Brother
unit that the post office lost on me. From NYC<>Hartford should be overnight
but took the government 2 months to get it to me. When it arrived the box
was damaged to the point the tape on it gave way. I knew inside the unit
*had* to be damaged, and it was. 

Post office refused to file an insurance claim even though it was -their-
fault. Fortunately it was only slightly damaged on the inside and I found
a local place that repaired it for under $100USD. Since I paid a very low
price to begin with, the repair cost was fine and I still got a very good
unit for less than $200USD. They sold used for $300USD on average so I still
made out pretty good.

The issue it had was apparently there's a sensor inside that unit which 
insures that the toner is properly lined up and that sensor somehow was moved
when it fell/was dropped/got crushed/etc. by USPS. Replacing the sensor did 
the trick. It's been in service for my company with the fax off my asterisk
server for 2 years now, and I don't think it ever gave me a paper jam. :)

.... Got my tie caught in the fax... Suddenly I was in L.A.
