+100. E-bay is a good source for the very knowledgable buyer who knows exactly what to ask for and what they need and it's an expensive and misleading trap for the tyro.

Right, you can get either Shimano or Campy compatible holsders and replacement pads from Kool Stop to replace your brake shoes. I've done this on several sets of older Shimano brakes that came with brake shoes and I'm sure the same substitution can be done on any Campy brake set.
Here is Kool Stop's web page. Scroll down to the road brakes:

These items can be obtained at most LBSs and from Bike Tools Etc., Loose Screws and other mail order dealers.
