i searched on ebay for a new mixer and found these stores that sell them new right out of the box. for the same mixer the price between sellers can vary up to $150. the more expensive ebay sellers say that its because they are Authorized dealers. have any of you bought something from these "unauthorized" dealers? are they trustworthy? thnx in advance.

Authorised Dealers are good if something breaks within the warranty period, you can send it back to them and, they will take care of it.

I don't buy anything new on Ebay but, if I wasn't technically inclined, I would probably buy from an authorised dealer.

The few products I bought on Ebay that were new I didn't pay any mind if the seller was an authorised dealer or not.

Since I repair my own gear, authorised or non-authorised holds little weight to me.

More often than not i feel like ebay items come pretty much as they're described on the listing. Ebay has the whole fraud and selling fake items things down. If the item does come not as described there's usually a return policy or you can report the seller. Although if there's no return policy i'd advise against buying from those sellers.
