Default Purchasing equipment from fellow RB members

HEy just wondering if any of you have purchased equipment from fellow RB members and how your experience was. I purchased a UV sterilizer from e_bear this weekend and the whole transaction was excellent. It was exactlly what he said it was and thus far seems to be working great...

Since I trust my RB'rs for information and experience I would also trust them with purchasing. I mean my fish's lives mean more to me than some money so their info and experiences to help them stay alive mean a ton. So far I would trust so many here with purchasing, especially if I have seen them on the forums a bunch. If they were brand new to RB, maybe I would hesitate a little.

I haven't bought anything from our members, but I have flirted a bag of sand out of sanjaypawar. I know what I will be doing this weekend. I get the chills just thinking of the work.
