Default Tell me about your Ebay stories

Yes yes, people say Ebay parts are POS.

I wanna hear stories about em. Any nonaesthetic part; engine, suspension, brakes, whatever.

What ebay part did you get?
How much did you pay?
What car did you put it on?
How well did it install?
How well did it work?
How long has it been?

Horror and good stories alike.

I've bought a lot of my stuff from ebay. Its pretty safe if you just check the seller feedback.

I got my Koni's from ebay, my neuspeed braces (used), my factory service manual, and lots of non-car related stuff.

You can find good deals on ebay. I don't buy the worthless crap tons of people post up there, but I have gotten some good deals on quality brand-name stuff :thumbup:

Um... let's see... intakes, headers, exhausts, coil overs, gauges, shifters, etc.

The *POS* stuff... not the name brand...
