<font color='#000080'>I would suggest trying some on before you buy, even if this means driving round a few shops and posing as a buyer wanting to try on a few suits. I bought a DS without trying it on and had to exchange for a smaller size. I was lucky as I bought direct from the supplier who is quite amicable, but you might have problems if you buy one of these suits and find its not what you wanted/wrong size. Try and try on the ones you think you'll be most likey to buy on Ebay, in a shop to get a feel of sizes/suit feels. I plumbed for Latex Seals but you might like Neophrene. Try both to see what you think.
If you've never done any drysuit dives before ask your local shop if they have any demo suits you could try out in a local indoor dive pool.
Don't worry if you loose these suits to other bidders, there will be more. Make sure you know what you want before you buy anything.
A tip for bidding on Ebay, I found it best to wait until the last minute to place any bids. If someone bidding knows your bidding against them, they may be tempted to push up the bids in order to get the item. The less bidders there are the lower the final bid will be. Then 30 seconds before the bid closes, (depending on the speed of your internet connection) place a bid. If bidders want something they keep refreshing until the last second to make sure they have it. If you do the same, refreshing and only bidding 30 seconds before close, by the time they see the final bid they may be too late to put in the winning bid.
Good luck
