whats illegal about buying parts from Ebay...True, it is buyer beware...but if you know what your buying and can test it right away...shouldn't be a problem.

Because Avaya doesn't want you to buy gray market or from an unauthorized source. If you own the system and maintain it out of your own pocket you use unauthorized parts at you own risk. If the system is leased or under a maintainence agreement with Avaya they are responsible for it so installing parts from an unauthorized and questionable source can void the agreement.
