Ebay for new headsets??

Sportys? Any advice at all?

Figure out what sets you are willing to buy and how much you are willing to pay
for a used set. Ebay is a fine place to pick up bargains if you know what you
want and what you're willing to pay for it. Don't bid on some brand you've never
heard of just 'cause you can get it cheap.

If you decide to buy new, look at the ads in Trade-A-Plane and call to get the
actual prices. Many companies sell headsets for less than their advertised price.

I got my headset from ebay and am tickled with it! An AVCOM Model 200 for 40
bucks. Was barely even used. Fellow had bought them for passengers and just
rarely used them. They may not be top of the line but for my purposes they
do a great job! So by all means shop on ebay , you may get lucky and find
exxactly what you want. And like George says , I would stay away from the
brands I had never heard of as well.
