ebay should cut a deal ,with the shippers on their shear volume like instrumentexchange.com ,has done with fedex, it's cheaper, an tracked the minute you get it, the drivers tappen it into his portable dodad,then you have 48 hours inspection i'd buy like crazy of ebay if it was set up like http://www.instrumentexchange.com/index.asp ,guitar center owens them, alot of the stuff comes right ,out of their stores ,demos , used stuff , returns ,trade ups
