Buying a Samsung Epic 4G on eBay: Safe or not safe?

As you all know, the reservations are all "sold out," so I am unable to acquire this phone anywhere through my local stores. Today I went in and three people asked about the Epic -- I occasionally go to Sprint stores and I have not visited a store where there was a line just to ask a question about the Epic, I don't even recall that happening for the EVO.

Anywho, I see a couple on eBay...Sure I know the basics -- feedback rating, date joined of user, etc. however I'm quite afraid I may receive a display model or a test model, blah, blah, blah. Ideally, I am going to have to pay 425.00 + 9.25% taxes if I wait three/four weeks and go into the store. While that price is relatively the same as purchasing it for the original cost, you can see it is NOT worth it........I should probably ask the eBay seller about whether its a display model or not before....

Any experienced eBay phone buyers out there? I'll lay down five bills, sure...! But I want something new bitches.
