EDIT: i see the previous poster has noted Lickbike... if it's any help, take comfort in sharing a valuable (and possibly expensive) lesson... (i stopped using eBay years ago)
I live in Hawaii, guys, and all the companies you mentioned LOVE to add on extra charges for sending something to HI&AK. No such thing as surface shipping to Hawaii. From any of the businesses you listed, the price including shipping would have been easily over $200. So I tried to save $25 bucks by going through ebay - and I ended up getting bit. Other than this one, I've had nothing but good experiences buying the dozen or so items I've bought off ebay recently. This was intended to be a discussion about the stand, ebay, and what my options are from here. Lay off on the "you got SSSSSSOOOOOOOOO ripped off!" BS.
