Sometimes I still get surprised at what people will try....
There's a M725 ambulance, stock, looks pretty decent on Ebay in Texas. Seller opening bid 48,995.00 and buy it now is $59,000.00......
Have no idea why my M43 won't go for 2800........

Wait till he gets the bill for those listing fees. He may not stay long on ePay after that.

Today I see on ePay an M37 oil pan with a starting bid of $195.00! No picture, or no description stating whether it was NOS or used. Surely he keyed the 1 by accident LOL,,but then again:?

Hi Guys: Don't forget that I am still out here, sitting on a lot of M37 and WC parts. I also cannot believe the prices some people buy stuff for on e-bay. I try to do my e-bay stuff at prices not much above my list prices, just enough to cover the fees. If you want a copy of my list of parts, send me an e-mail. I prefer to e-mail the list and will do so if you can open Microsoft Excel.

I don't have everything, but I do have a lot of stuff. Over 1000 M37 parts on the list. Plus I have some stuff that is not listed. And always, lots of advice which is worth just about what it costs you, which is nothing. Sid

Sid is too modest to toot his own horn.........but! He's listed as the "Go To Person according to the MVPA. He has always been a square shooter as well, if he doesn't have what your looking for, he can steer you in the right direction.
JMHO,

:oops:

You know, stupid is who stupid does.
Ebay is great for me, but you have to be patient, and when you find what you are looking at a fair price, nail it without hesitation. Seems to me a lot of people on Ebay thinks that if they miss that auction there wont be another part like that in the world.
I buy lots of auto parts from vendors in USA, I have an account with special discount in a Chrysler dealer, but the other day I had to buy a fuel rail for a 93 Dodge Intrepid, dealer quoted me $327 plus shipping and I bought it brand new, same mopar part number on Ebay at $89.
That's good ebaying.

Just bought an Olds 442 console that looks good, paid $75 for it. Some other guys are asking $295 for a console in similar condition. They can keep it, or find a loaded dumb willing to pay for it.
You know the saying about the eye of the beholder?
