>As a buyer on eBay, When a "new" item gets to within
>60 - 70% of the price new, I go with a trusted retailer.
I sorta go with that as well on new stuff but things I buy tend to be no
longer available new. I try to do my value homework before I bid and do
not go over my calculated max bid. Many times others want things more
than I do.
I'm just now starting to go through my piles of stuff to use e-bay as a
garage sale place. My first test was a new float, fuel inlet valve and
seat and top gasket for a 40DCOE. I have 45DCOEs on my car so they do
not fit. The $21 I got for it on e-bay sure beats tossing it in the
trash.
I just now put up my second and third items: a single 45DCOE carb and a
new 6 blade 15 inch cooling fan for a Ford small block engine. I'll see
how those go before opening all those boxes of things I no longer plan to
use but are too good to toss out.
This e-bay thing might just be a good way for me to clean up my act.
