I have bought 6 drysuits off e-bay over the years and 4 of them have been just as advertised and on the near new side of used. For the $200-$335 spent on them, they were all exceptional values.
One of the remaining suits was new on the hangar with tags attached but had been mismarked size wise by the factory, so the original owner could not fit in it but e-bayed it with the marked size - probably a little deceptive on his part as he knew the problem. But we were able to trade it locally and got our $400 out of it plus a used drysuit in very good condition, so it was still an ok deal in the end.
The remaining suit was bought for $75 and despite the seller's contention that it was usable, I had no illusions about it being a good suit as it was a poly backed nylon bi-lam suit which normally do not hold up well. But I bought it for the valves, and it was worth the $75 for that - whihc was a good thing as the suit leaked at every seam.
