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.
