hi there-
i'm finally in a position to purchase an EB and am looking at a few on eBay. i'm in Chicago so the selection is pretty limited here and need to look beyond this area.
i'm hoping to get a sniff test against a couple of the Bronco's i'm considering bidding on and some general advice on what to look out for. my goals are: have an EB that needs little mechanical attention out of the box, is in good shape structurally and aesthetically, and allows me to remove the top and use with a soft top during the summer (stored in the horrible Chicago winters).
here are a couple that i'm looking at:

the latter is from a seller on eBay that has great feedback. the former is from someone that has no feedback but don't want to pass it up if it's a good buy. also, the 2nd one was listed on eBay previously and didn't sell as the bids didn't hit the reserve - the last bid was $9500. i'm curious re: legitimate prices for both of these.
any input is much appreciated. i'm not a gearhead by any means - just trying to make sure that my first EB experience isn't a bad one.
thanks in advance!
