I definitely prefer Reverb but do get the vibe that the lack of auctioning results in people often asking prices that are way out of line. However, when I have found something of interest I've appreciated the people I've dealt with a lot more than many of whom I've purchased from on eBay. Unlike eBay I get the idea that I'm dealing with knowledgeable musicians who are able to answer all the questions I have about the equipment I'm interested in purchasing. Of course, first choice is always to purchase from those who frequent the Alembic board.
