I personally have never had a bad experience with e-bay (knock on wood). I have never bought a cutter, but I have bought of ton of other $hit. Just make sure the person you are dealing with has good feedback and pay with Paypal, you usually have a better chance of getting your money back if you use a credit card thru Paypal and something goes wrong.
Sure, I've picked up a couple Xikar cutters off eBay for fairly reasonable prices. As long as the seller has been established for a while and they have 98+% positive feedback you should have a fairly good experience. Look through their feedback and see if there are any negatives and what they are for. Like Bk said, use a credit card through Paypal and is something goes wrong you can file a claim through your credit card company.
Speaking about Xikar cutters, I used to think they were a waste of money. They really do a nice job, though. I was pleasantly surprised when I cut my first cigar with it and it was like a surgeon's scalpel cutting right through it.
Better than ebay . . . look for the gift sets available from some vendors. You usually get 4 cigars and a Xikar cutter for around $30. It is not the high end Xikar with the wood or gold handles but it works very well.

You do realize that people sell new stuff on eBay, too? I picked up a brand new Xikar MTX for $22 shipped and a new Xi 3 for $40 shipped. You can get good deals on eBay safely, you just have to know what you're doing.Quote:
