beast5680:
your quite right :D  and i have no problem with the dealer buying the stuff and marking it up(although sometimes i think the decimal point gets put in the wrong place) its their job and how they make a living i was merely pointing out that i thought this was a bad deal compared with whats on the market that is similar

strapping young lad:
thing is with these

i think they would only look good if the rear lights were done as well but ive yet to see rear clusters in white  :wink:

I think people have a tendency to assume, when using eBay, that everything's a bargain.  People forget the "free market" thing, ie that the seller can be charging whatever the hell they want.

As a seller, you could probably argue that you're using eBay to market products to people who wouldn't otherwise know they existed, so you have a right to charge whatever you wanted;  if the buyer was really keen to get a bargain, they'd do their homework better.

I used to work for a computer hardware distributor, selling to the trade.  Some of our customers assumed that the price we quoted them came from some magic pricelist, and that we were charging them a fair price for anything we quoted them.  In reality, we could see our buy price, and we'd charge the customer whatever we thought they'd put up with.  If a price went down, why would we pass that to our customer, if we knew he'd pay the pre-reduction amount?  The sales people in that company were on 100% commission as a percentage of the profit they made.

I tend to assume, whenever buying anything in that situation, that the seller is going to play the game.  Consequently, I sometimes end up not buying anything, as I always assume I'm being ripped off!
