Ebay Is King
Lucy1978:
yeah, there's some right overpriced tat on there. Seen a galvanized series bumper that's an engineering second as some of the holes are inthe wrong place, it's up to £36 +p&p. You can get a non second one new from Paddocks for £25. Lunacy

Ebay is pretty damn good but you need to do your research - never buy on a whim.
As has been said it's dead easy to pay way over the odds.
Also the postage still winds me up; some people really do try and fleece the postage.
Disco Matt:
The ones that annoy me on the postage front are those that say "contact seller to determine postage" hmm, and will it be the same amount regardless of the current bid? :lol: It's not difficult to quote UK postage and say "overseas contact me before bidding". I don't really care about postage as I look at the overall price, but when they don't bother to quote it I obviously can't do that.
There are bargains for those who know what they're buying, especially if you find a lot with one rough part and some good bits. Others seem to be put off by the rough bit rather than thinking "3 good widgets for 99p and I might be able to fix the fourth".
Range Rover Blues:
Funny though, E-bay is not the place to be selling RRC spares any more, but anything classic Ford goes for daft money.

Seats for £10.... bargain! Well worth the drive to get them.
Got a brand new rad for the 90 at £61 including delivery last week. They are £125 from Paddocks so I'm happy :D
Oh, and a small sheet metal folder, new, for £16.78 plus postage :D All the previous ones had gone for £45 or £50!
If you are buying something that someone is continually listing, just bid what you want to pay. If you don't get it keep bidding each time it is listed... eventually you will get one when nobody else is bidding. That's how I got the folder at a good price.
Also, look for listings that are ending at a silly time in the small hours. They tend not to get bid up at the last moment.
