I have had good luck so far using eBay. I read everything and ask question when needed. I only buy items I can no longer get from a dealer.
I have one dealer that is not to far away. I have bought some GLOWs from them that I may not have normally bought. But they have also tryed to order in LEs that I have asked for. I think I am the only one who buys the HLs from them. Before they started carrying Harbour Lights, I was having to order them from a dealer on line.
