AC Compressor replacement

[JENKIN]

Has anyone had any experience buying a compressor from this ebay site?

The price is about half what I was quoted from my non subaru mechanic. The compressor in the car has a bad shaft seal and does not hold freon. The car has already been converted to 134.
I figured this would be a great January project here in my unheated warehouse with a median day time temp of 40. At least the fan will blow cold air no matter what!
I could not search out an ac compressor thread, so I am posting. If there is one in here,educate me. thanks

I bought an SVX compressor and a Toyota MR2 compressor from that EBay offerer. The SVX one has been in use about a year, the MR2 about 6 months. No issues so far. No other experiences.

BTW, if you need new o-rings, etc. get in contact with the person via-e-mail, they threw them in for free for me. I also bought a dryer from them for the MR2, I don' think they had one for the SVX, but my local Discount/Advance Auto parts had it in stock. ALso, they didn't charge me a core charge either - which was nice, not sure if that's still their policy. I'd ask.
