I would have no issue buying second hand or refurbished gear but personally I think a feedback score of 99.3 is quite low. Maybe find a buyer with a better score if possible.

Mind you, I sold my old 20D a few months ago for not a lot more than that price.

You might be better off looking for a reliable 2nd hand SLR from someone on boards or such.
