If a seller has betweeb 50 to 100 feedback, look for 100%.  I generally prefer
sellers 98% or higher.  A 95% rating is too low, especially for ahigh price
item.

Your comfort zone all depends on the seller.  With ICD (our sponsor) I will pay
$000's without blinking an eye.

Fro something this expensive, I would want a 2 week money back guarantee, less
shipping.  Insurance for shipping is also a must.  This is no way, I would bid
on an item for $1000 if the seller has < 30 feedback (less alone ZERO feedback).
 That is beyond my comfort zone. Somebody here will either get deal or get stung
- for myself this a gambling type transaction that I would avoid.
