I just bought a 445 JD off of e-bay. You made the right choice, there is a world of difference in a real garden tractor and lawn tractors. This is my fifth tractor purchased on e-bay, didn't really need this last one, but I wanted it so what the heck. A person can't have too many tractors, can he?

I am a frequent ebay buyer. I have a few bad experiences, but far more good ones than bad...but if you use paypal you can get a refund when a buyer is bad...the best thing to do is read a persons feedback, not JUST look at the percent...read WHAT people write and also beware that you can have a decent percent feedback as long as your selling thousands a month, so read and decide in that manner. I bought many of my hostas that way and got lovely large plants and my brunnera also. I have also bought many garden decor that way too...I love one stop shopping from my living room in my jammies. I buy only what I am looking for, not impluse buys as I am passing aisles by in the store. I just bought a hot tub this week. Three years old only with a small leak (which my husband fixed in a couple hours) for just four hundred dollars. The seller even delivered it for a small fee. As long as you do your research and pay with paypal, you will most likely have a good experience. Depending tho on the sellers zone and your zone. Heat at this time of the year can bake a plant during shipping and turn it to slime. I would take that into consideration before buying in July and Aug.

If you want to find out about the vacuum from the seller on ebay send an email requesting the serial number from the product that you might win. He is gonna love your inquiry but you need to know before you bid. Call the manufacturer with the info they will tell you exactly when the item was made and the status (preowned, refurbished, etc.) Don't forget to ask about the warranty. Kohls department store has a website. If you register to receive sale notices you will autoatically get a 10% discount. If you get a kohls charge card you get a higher discount. Many times they offer free shipping over 75 dollars and sometimes you can buy any 1 item for 99 cents shipping. There vacuum prices are good. I bought a eureka and it is still working well. refurbished items come with a warranty.

Thanks, Mikie. I can't locate the disk nor the registration #. Dell shipped this machine loaded with the software. I don't remember if I had to type in the code #. I paid full price for the full suite but Dell won't have anything to do with my losing the disk. The computer is 3 yrs old and I don't know what happened to the disks which came with it. We moved this year, maybe I left them behind or lost them. Just doesn't make sense as I have all the disks for our other 4 computers and can't find any for this computer. I keep all disks together in a box and they aren't there. Hindsight, should have checked before reinstalling Windows. I think it could be possible, Dell never shipped the disks with the computer but can't prove anything. Meanwhile, I have a all my Word docs sitting on-line and can't bring them back. Microsoft doesn't sell 07 and the only place I could find it was on Ebay. I have Office 03 on my other computers. I can't use those disks because they are registered to those computers. Comedy of errors...it is a real learning experience. Jane
