I have had absolutely ZERO issues with them on quality, shipping and etc. But, I've had mixed success with Best Offers. Sometimes they'll take a (relatively) low offer, and sometimes not. Seems to me its more who is reviewing the offer than what the offer is on.I remember them being mentioned as a reputable seller offering good deals in other threads here.
