Legitimate Online sellers?

Not quite sure if I picked the right forum for this thread if so mods could you please direct me into the right forum.As for the question I'm currently in the works of buying my first droid powered phone*woo* specifically the zte warp on boost mobile,most retailers online carry it for 200 and some change,whereas amazon directly carries it for 179.99 and 'shopcelldeals' carry it brand new with an optional 2 year warranty for 160.00. When i did a bit of research it seems as if every bit of feedback I see from epinions has me thinking twice about doing business with shopcell,they have the phone on ebay for the same price but their ebay store has a ton of good (nonspecific) feedback and about 5 pages of negative feedback. All the positive feedback seemed a bit strange nobody specified anything and has me thinking its fake. Has anybody dealt with this site for buying their phones and how was the experience? if it comes down to it i'll pony up the 180.00 but for 20.00$ cheaper it's awfully tempting.

(again sorry if this is the wrong forum)
 
I always do lots of research before my purchases also. If I see info like you describe, I run like he!!. I'd rather pay a little more to a verifiable, reputable, seller than get shafted by a scumbag seller. If it sounds too good, my red flags start flying!

To me, $20 is a small premium to pay for peace of mind. But that's just me.

That's what it looks like I'm going to do,reading some of the feedback had people saying they received used/broken phones,blocked people on ebay who wanted to know why their product hadn't arrived,and getting store models that couldn't be activated
