Sounds good to me!
Yes, there are good deals on Ebay but I've had more problems with subs. than anything else. They always take a long time (8 -12 weeks) and I think some sellers count on you forgetting about it or something as they have "lost" several of mine. Also multi-year subscriptions are often only renewed once a year which gives the seller time to disappear or go out of business. Buyer beware.
