Buying from ebay

I have done a search, and have not found exactly what I am asking for, so here it goes:

Is it relatively safe to purchase from those “Users” who are (or seem to be) companies? They say their stuff is new, and its a bit cheaper than websites that actually manufacture the products (namely penis pumps, which is what I am searching for) For example, I see some pumps by Kaplan and LAP for sale at 95-110, some don’t charge shipping. It claims that its products are new. Is that possible? I don’t want to pay an extra $50 dollars for something I can get from a secondary source. There are also other brand pumps with pressure gages for 35-75 bucks. If I can’t manage to imagine a way to make my own pump (I have to imagine it since I am on a tight budget and don’t want to buy somethings and end up not having the right things or unable to make the pump), then I am thinking of using ebay. If not, then I guess I’ll have to fork over the extra $50+ to get it straight from the manufacturer.

I know some members, past or present, have bought some PE related stuff from ebay, and I want to know about their experience.

Thanks guys.

Did you catch this thread yet?

Lap pump = harbor freight tools pump

Harbor Freight for the actual pump. The instructional cd that some companies include in a package deal is entirely unnecessary and is really more porn than instruction. You can also buy the couplings and tubing from part suppliers and save a few bucks. So, the tube:

As far as the tube goes places like LAP have excellent customer service. Defective received product and even something that brakes months later are replaced. Something to consider. If the ebay vendor is selling a package deal it isn’t really a deal. If you can pick up just a tube on the cheap that might be worth considering.

I actually followed what Ru said and got everything other than the tube elsewhere. The Pump was from the local Harbor Frieght around the corner from my storage/junkyard. The fitting from McMasters 35 miles North of me in Princeton with some tubing as well.

I bought one on Amazon, wouldn’t do it again though, shady.

A vacuum pump isn’t required for pumping, but some kind of vacuum gauge is a must.

Thanks for the answers and help guys. I guess I could grab me one of those and then a fishtank cleaner tube and use that for a cylinder (I have read that some users have used a fishtank cleaner tube)?
