Except for an occasional broadcast transcription, I've never 
bought a record on Ebay.  Check out Recordfinders
(recordfinders.com).  They run an auction every few months.
All sorts of stuff.  I got a copy of Elvis' "Treat Me Nice"
for $35 there, and buddy Holly's "Lookin for Someone to Love"
for $40.  That may sound like a lot of money to some, but
for those records the prices are quite reasonable.  And,
since juke boxes hide a lot of surface wear, you can get an
E- or V+ condition record that sounds absolutely fabulous.
