Be careful on Ebay 3 Years, 7 Months ago  
I was looking for a part for the Yamaha Roadstar.
Two sellers on ebay. One wanted $55.00 and the other wanted $99.99 but
the part was available through a Yamaha dealer for $31.00

I sent both sellers a Ebay message telling them that, and which dealer it was.
Later that day the price was unchanged.

That is very common. You just gotta know what is and what isn't a good deal. buyer beware. They are praying on those that buy everything on ebay without a clue.

I always do my search by lowest price, with shipping, listed first. I call those crooks out all the time. Doesn't phase ' em.

Neiman Marcus said they can get double or better for their merchandise because of the superior service and sales experience they offer. Maybe that's what they are selling?

At auction sales around here, bent, rusty steel fence posts always go for about double of new.

Ebay makes me nervous.

Is this not a reasonable place to park?
