Thanks for the info Rich.  I bought my 21" Samsung LCD off eBay about 
1.5 yrs ago.  It was new and included all cables and the power brick.  I 
can't see how they could sell something as new if it's missing a 
part...  I have had no problems whatsoever with my LCD.  There certainly 
are more unscrupulous sellers out there now (on the Internet not just 
eBay) so I no longer just consider the lowest price but also take a long 
detailed look at the reviews/feedback before purchasing.
