Would It Be Safe To Buy An iMac on Ebay?

I bought an iMac on eBay several years ago. It was about a year old, though, so it wasn't like buying through the Apple Store. It was fine, and the transaction and product were perfect, but, like all things eBay, it depends on the parties involved.
Nowadays, if I were in the market for a used Mac, I'd look on craigslist first, MacRumors second (only because craigslist is local). Why deal with eBay's shipping, fees, potentially shady members, etc. if you don't have to?
Anyway, good luck.
Same high quality as a new one from Apple? NIB means different things to different people on eBay. Considering the amount of cash involved and the relatively small savings it would be better bet to buy from Apple.
Once in a while a deal shows up, but their is plenty of risk.
