I need an ARC R/T 359A transponder. E-bay has one for 450. I'm afraid to bid for it and get stuck with a lemon. Anyone bought avionics on E-bay? Work OK?

I've bought an RT-385A and an MX-385 on Ebay. Both work fine. Pick a seller with good feedback, or get an agreement that you can return it if it's DOA.

I have also bought avionics on ebay and it has worked out, but make sure you ask the seller the right questions, like 12 volt vs 24 volt etc.

I bought a Narco VOR from eBay advertised as "working when removed" for just over $600. I took it to Narco in Fort Washington, PA and it cost me $1100 to get it repaired.

Keep in mind I am only one person and million use e-Bay. Caveat Emptor.

I bought a Narco transponder through eBay that had obviously been assembled from cast off parts but was advertised as "working when removed". The seller told me it was my fault it didn't work as I must have damaged it. I filed a claim with eBay/Paypal, returned the unit, got my money back, and entered negative feedback for the seller.

Sometimes, you'll find a unit for sale out of Canada or Europe. Those can be really good deals as you'll have the buyer protection in case it's a dud but nobody else will bid for fear of being ripped off.

To replace that Narco, I bought a Garmin 320 off of eBay and found a used adapter for $50 from an avionics shop up in Colorado using Google. Works great.
