Default eBay laptop purchasing

Has anyone personally bought a laptop (used/new/refurb w/e) off of eBay? I am considering buying one once i sell my computers on eBay, and i just want to hear about others experiences.

I've been able to find ~10 laptops all of which retail at well over $1000, with no reserve, starting bid is like $20. This sound skeptical. But then the seller guarantees it will work or he will refund you payment in full. And i went and read all the seller's feedback and it's flawless with 100's (a few over 1000) sells/buys. Some seller's are companies, others are individual sellers.

Do you think i can sucessfully buy a laptop off eBay without getting screwed? My dad seems to think ANYTHING with "no reserve" has problems, but i feel differently after reading feedback and e-mailing the seller a few questions and he e-mailed me back VERY fast with the right answer. He is letting me use his account so i can get the feel of eBay, and then i might get my own.

Thanks
