Is it better to buy a laptop on Ebay or at a retail store/website?

retro asked:


There’s so many different options! I don’t want to spend over $300.00 for a used (refurbished) laptop, but I want it to be fast & reliable. I don’t know much about brands like E-machines or Aspire, and I’m more comfortable with Dells, Gateways, Sonys (How, I wish!). Should I buy on Ebay? or is it more advisable to purchase at BestBuy, or a place similar that there’s more of a reliable seller.
