Oceanstatekillah, what's wrong with ebay? I just bought my MPC 4000 from ebay and got a heck of a deal (under $2000 USD) with the extra upgrade options and it all functions great!!!!! If I were you, I'd give ebay a second thought. You could save a lot of money and the extra money left over could go toward something else. As a result of depreciation in electronic equipment, the market value of your brand new $3000 MPC will only be only $1000-$2000 when/if you decide to sell it.
If you are skeptical of shopping on ebay for safety reasons, just keep in mind that you have to be a wise shopper. Check the seller's feedback percentage rating, number of feedbacks, and number of seller feedbacks. If you buy from either a powerseller with high positive feedback rating or from someone who has sold over 100 items with a high/positive seller feedback rating, you should be ok. You probably know this stuff already.
On the other hand, if you recently had bad experiences with ebay or simply want to avoid ebay for other reasons then the ones I mentioned, then I can understand that. Regardless of where you buy your MPC 4000 from, I respect whatever decision you make. I just thought I'd give you a suggestion to help you out a little. Good luck with your MPC 4000 purchase and I hope you are able to get one and enjoy it.
Peace.
