While I haven't scored any saws off eBay yet, on the few I've been interested in the first thing I look for in the pics is a S/N plate. If it isn't legible, I ask the seller for it. If they can't or won't provide it, I move on.this thread has me wondering about the saws i'v bought at auction. I suppose it is questionable were exactly they did come from. i'd hate to think I bought some poor fellows stolen saw.
This doesn't assure I won't be buying suspect items, but it at least helps IMHO.
