So sorry about your E-Bay FW. I got one off E-Bay a few months back, but had been searching for almost a year. I really checked out all the pics that they posted and I didn't want anything in really rough shape or not working.If I was un-sure of the condition I didn't bid on it. Maybe I was being too pricky, but I got a beautiful FW with a case in great condition for $225 (including shipping & it was packed good). No manual though and only a couple of extra feet. I don't really like to buy stuff that I can't see or touch in person. Maybe after you clean her up and start using it, you will be happy. Good luck.
