I've bought a fair few items off the site whilst I've been starting out and all have been fine to be honest. You can always check a members trader feedback if you are dubious or unsure.
I think one of the reasons there are lots of motors and batts etc for sale is that some people prefer to have the newest and best or flavour of the month components (I don't blame them wish I could afford it).
