Disclaimer: I am not trying to be overly suspicious about this seller. This is more of a general question.

Does it bother any of you guys to see a feedback of 0 or 1 on a seller of an item that is gonna go for $100+. Just makes me nervous...

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

I don't have a problem buying from 0 feedback sellers, even with relatively high priced items. I bought a white box set from a guy with a feedback under 5, and a copy of Titan from a 0 feedback seller. There might be a little more risk... say instead of 1% risk, you might be looking at 2-3%. Still leaves 97% being OK.

Usually I'll ask a question while the auction is running, and try to gauge what the guy is like from the reply. Every time so far, I've received a reply that makes it seem they're legit, so I bid. Actually, I have to say that in my experience, 0 feedback sellers are among the best - they're super keen to impress (to get that first feedback I guess) so that they really put a lot of effort in.

The last time I bought something from a 0 (a copy of EPT, for $77), they had shipping listed at $7. After the auction I indicated I was out in Australia and to let me know how much extra to add for postage as $7 wouldn't cover it, and they refused - they told me they'd listed $7 for postage, so that's all they wanted. Postage ended up being $25. I think they didn't know what an EPT set was likely to go for and felt that I'd paid too much for it, so they thought they were helping me out.

Regards

Mike

Forgot to add - another benefit with buying from a 0 feedback seller is that the item will generally (not always the case) go for less than the same item from an established seller.

Crap your right! I think it did have a sticker and there's CLEARLY NO STICKER in that picture.

The guy might be moving counterfeit material here.

Did you read the description?

"What's Truly rare is Official TSR ShrinkWrap that only came on these products produced in the early 80s or even as far back as the 70s! (NOTE!!!! Very few original owners are even alive any more because they are so dang old!)"

He must know a lot of people on these boards :-)

I was alive in the 1970s. If I remember correctly, I invented dirt.

Not bad for an April fool's auction.
