I'm new to FTA so I've been searching for a listing of FTA equipment dealers that I can purchase a 36" motorized system from in the US. Many have nice websites, etc. but when I do a bbb.org search or search for their business on Google including the word "scam" the comments scare me away. I'm hesitant to buy anything from them. Does LegitFTA have a list of reputable dealers available?
Honest FTA equipment dealers?

No, LegitFTA does not have any list like that. there are threads where members may say this is a good place to deal with and so on.
You are correct to be cautious in buying online, everyone should be.
The only place that I personally would say is safe and a trustworthy place as a dealer is hypermegasat.com he may not have just what you want, but you can be sure you will get what you order.
In saying that Ebay is also a great place to buy from either USA or Canada, many have free shipping..just be sure they have excellent positive feedback.
I'll add my 2 cents here. I've ordered many items from Hypermegasat and he's always come through for me, even if I've had to return an item or find a specialty item not listed on his site.
I've also used Ricks at gofastmotorsports.com/rickssatellitehome.htm for other receivers/items that Hyper does or not carry, but his prices with shipping are more expensive.
For years I have seen them come and go or go sour, but these two always have given me a good shopping experience.

We would certainly NOT recommend worldwidesatellites as an honest FTA equipment dealer in Canada as many of the items they sell are clones including the AzBox Premium HD Plus. We have them listed as an unauthorised dealer on our website at http://unauthorised.azbox.ca and have already identified actual AzBox Premium HD+ units that people purchased over there as clones by simply comparing pictures of these with an authentic reference unit. We also saw complaints on other forums about people complaining about having to wait up to two weeks before their order from worldwidesatellites got shipped.
For honest FTA equipment dealers in Canada, we can recommend Dr. Sat, Angel Electronics and RPS Satellite. Dr. Sat is actually a member of the Canadian BBB so they are very reputable and I do believe they ship to the US for most of their items.

I have purchased from worldwidesatellites no less then 10 times in the past without any issues and my order usually doesn't take more then 4 days to be delivered. Rpssat is a site I have recommended over the years as well since Roger, site owner is a good friend of mine and he always deals in good quality equipment but his prices can be a bit high.

I've only dealt with WWS twice but I was amazed at how fast their delivery was. Ordered a V-Box positioner on Saturday and had it Tuesday. I don't even get stuff mailed from our own town that fast. Only other time delivery was the same.
I concur, I've dealt with both of these sellers and they're great.
I personaly would not do bussiness with a seller on e-bay named
abestwholeseller........i bought 2 openbox s-10 receivers from them
1 of them i know is a clone..luckily i was able to bring it back to life.
I sent them a message leting them know i had problems with that receiver. ..no responce
i even told them i was not looking for a replacement or my money back i was just letting them know
they were selling. .....CRAP. they dont care they just wanna make a buck.
so word to the wise dont deal with "abestwholesaler".....
