The only reason I am trying the eBay seller first is b/c he does actually have a return policy due to defective equipment or unsatisfaction. I guess my main concern, is will Cleveland still warranty it, since it was purchased new from an eBay seller? The guy is selling mainly Halos and Black Pearls, so obviously he has a connection somehow w/ Cleveland.
Just for kicks, here is the original auction.

BTW, thanks for the welcome, this seems like a great site!
