Tim Card from eBay? or purchase in Italy

After reading some posts it seems that registering Sim Cards in Italy can be an issue and take a couple days to activate. On eBay there is someone selling Tim Cards and it says that it doesn't need registering. Anybody try one of these?

My other thought is to go to a Vodafone store in the airport FCO and purchase a card and beg for help ( I don't speak italian ).

I am hoping to purchase a cheap unlocked phone 900/1800 or are there better deals at a Vodafone store that include phones and cards like they have here in the US?

thanks for your help! 8
