I bought a lnb from ebay. It was a primestar lnb, the coffee can type. The guy that i bought it from has good feedback and a return policy. The lnb has the separate ports for h and v (but that's a good thing becuase an internal switch get's rid of the room used form filtering capictors) I paid 25.99 for it (with shipping) Is that too much?

I have two of those cans, and I know they are heavy, so shipping charge may vary.
Do you have good experience with them? I never could get any signal with one of them which already was attached to Primestar LNB arm, and replaced it with FSKU-v

Its really about how much you are willing to spend. A simple stardard LNB for most dealers would come to that with shipping etc. I sell a lot of stuff on ebay, and I can tell you shipping is not cheap, especially for heavier items. If you buy something from a dealer, they can often provide cheaper shipping as they have volume deals with shipping companies, which most Ebayer's do not.
