What you've heard about Shreve is true. You have a much better
chance of getting what you ordered from Joe Blow on eBay. One guy on
eBay worth dealing with is "Old Mac Milt".
Reputable places I've dealt with personally:
Small Dog: <http://www.smalldog.com/> These guys are great!
MegaMacs: <http://www.megamacs.com/> I bought an open box 7600
from them. No problems.
Other World Computing (OWC) has a build-to-order service for some
older Mac models: <http://shop.macsales.com/MacSales/BTO/BTO.taf>
(Note: I've ordered twice from OWC with no problems, but there are
some complaints out there about wrong orders being sent - nothing
like Shreve through!)
