Buying a new trailer on ebay - a good idea?

Hello!

I did a search for ebay to see if this has been answered, but with 176 pages of results coming up, the responses are a little overwhelming.

I'm looking to potentially buy a new toy hauler trailer, and there are several dealerships selling on ebay, and with the ability to see their buyer feedback, that almost seems too easy to be true. Does anyone have any experience with buying a new trailer on ebay? I've never bought anything major like that on ebay before, but if the last 1500 deals have all been rated 5 stars with a dealer, and they're all verified purchases, can you argue with that?

I'd love to hear any advice, thank you!

It should be fairly simple to verify the Dealer.

Also, Would they have a 1500+ positive feedback if they weren't legit.

Yes, most RV's offered on Ebay do not have the manufacturers name shown, but, by looking at the pics you can determine the brand.

I bought a lease return 2003 PT Cruiser Turbo ($12,000 +) on EBAY in 2006, from a verified seller in California. It turned out to be better than stated in the auction.
