Well, im in need of a new TV, so ive taken a chance and ordered a refurb Toshiba 46HM84 from savinglots.com using ebay. Paid $1449 inc shipping and an extra $150 for the 4 year Repairmaster warranty. Ordered it yesterday using paypal, for some reason paypal is sending all payments as "unverified addresses" and savinglots sent me my order confirm saying there would be a 10 day hold for non confirmed addresses.

Late today they email me for a phone number for the delivery company and i reply back, they then call me to explain theres a problem with paypal and verification (all their orders with paypal payment were coming unverified) and they wanted to just confirm it wasnt a fraudelent order and my TV will be shipping tonight! Really friendly on the phone, no trying to sell other products or anything.

Great service so far, i'll add some comments when it arrives or if things change in the meantime. They gave me an ETA of end of next week/beginning of the week after for delivery.
