i have purchased little things from ebay for growing with no problems
the bigger stuff like lights and tents is very expensive to ship so i don't buy them from flea bay i get them from local stores
get them to give you a price for shipping before purchase
pay pal is a good way to buy things they cover you if you get ripped off,
i have had good luck so far with flea bay
always check there feed back and some nutes are not aloud to cross the border (us to canada)mainly orgranic nutes

I have got allot of stuff off ebay. You are right about the shipping on some. Just wasn't sure if they are crap. If so I will get one from my grow shop.

forgot who's sig it was... but it was on the money....
If you GO cheap, you GROW cheap!
That doesn't mean you need to spend a million dollars or go get a digital ballast and every best thing out there, but quality makes quality, ya know?
good lookin guy and gal have a kid... if it's his... it shouldn't be an ugly baby!!!

Thats what I was thinking. The only thing is allot of times things like that are made by a major co. Was looking for someone that has both a good brand and the cheaper ebay stuff.

I've bought quite a lot of ebay. I get some stuff from htgsupply. My 1000 watt hps ballast that I bought from htg went out saturday. Called them this morning and there shipping a new one out to me today. Luckily I had T5 system for backup.

Question? Has anybody used any of those leds, they are real cheap on ebay I was just wondering if they really worked? And can that big 90 watt led really replace the power and lumms of a 400watt hps fixture??? I have had good results on ebay so far, but I know you gotta be carful I dont know who said it buts it really good to check feed back esp on items sold that your intrested in.

i think you would be ok with small stuff maybe even lights and ballasts.try to stick to sellers that own actual stores....DO NOT and i mean DO NOT by tents off of ebay unless they are from one of these locations that is known to sell authentic merchandise. my friend got a 4x8 hydro tent off somebody. they posted the pics of hydrofarms indoor habitat. when it showed up it was worth about $20 bucks and made in Indonesia.still hasn't gotten his money back yet.i say this about the tents because they are very easy to replicate and they make them look usable but a lot of people out there are making dangerous fire hazard tents that have no name and making a ton of cash of these scams,not to scare you though.there are a lot of good people on ebay.its just about willing take a chance..
