Been looking at picking up some new Zipp 404s and ebay seems to be the cheapest way to get a new wheelset at a decent price, can anyone offer any advice, pitfalls etc?

Is it a big No No?

Price is around the £1000 mark give or take a couple of hundred.

cheers,

    I'd say usual Ebay sense applies:

    Check their feedback, pay with Paypal, ask as many questions as you need beforehand, etc.

    I think Ebay is a great place to pick stuff up at a cheaper price, just aslong as you use common sense, when bidding and buying things.

    Buy from 'trusted' sellers. Collect in person if possible and inspect them. Pay with paypal so you have some protection.

    Same advice as the others really but no reason not to buy off the Bay if you do your homework. I bought my disc that way and had zero problems.

    Zipp 404s are usually around 1600 pounds from reputable outlets. On the basis that you don't generally see Zipps discounted much I doubt you will get the genuine thing new for 1000 pounds.
