hello,

i'm thinking about buying a Siliva from daniel1247 on ebay.  has anyone bought from him before?  he sells Silvias that have been "demo'ed" for almost $150 less than a new one.  i'm curious and a bit skeptical.  

i apologize if this is the wrong forum for this.  but it made sense to post in here.  let me know if i'm wrong.

thanks!

I believe that is the guy from Sunbelt Imports here in Houston. CLICK for STORE

They are reputable enough, and I have purchased a few small items and parts from them.
I know a couple of folks who've purchased Silvia and Rocky from them as well.  As far as I know there have been no problems...

But I have very little experience with them. It's always been my impression that they primarily serve commercial concerns.

I have purchased two Silvias from him, one about 2 years ago and the other about 18 months ago.  The first was off ebay and was also advertised as a demo but was actually a new unit in a sealed box.  The second I bought direct from him at Sunbelt.  It also was brand new, sealed box.  both were double boxed for shipping. I paid the same price for both of them, which was about $450 total, shipped to northern California. This was an excellent price at the time.  He was one of the cheapest seller's out there at the time and I had been looking for quite awhile.  Prompt shipment.  I have had no trouble with either machine so cannot report on service/repair.  However, I would not hesitate to buy from him again and he has been selling on ebay for at least a couple years now.
