    Ebay.. once... it's really tough to see if the stuff is real or not especially when they use stock photographs :eek:, I usually check the location of the item before purcashing it..

    I get ripped off all the time from vending machines. I pay $1.50 for a pop, yet I could've bought three pops for that price from the grocery store! :mad:

    Yes, many times. Just check the location of the seller as a probability of being ripped off
