I have been looking on ebay at outboards. Has anyone ever bought one from there before? If so was it a good deal or a nightmare? What should I avoid in a outboard motor? Thanks for any suggestions,Brian.

I have a 9.8 serial #3484650 and it has weak spark. The man working on it for me said it needs new points and condenser. I have ordered points from Sierra but they don,t carry the condensers for it.
