Default Ebay is sometimes awesome...

I've been scouting ebay lately for used AN lines and if you're patient you can score a line you need for cheap$$$$.

I present you with one example (of many).

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMRS-PRO-GOL...b7fdae&vxp=mtr

Lots of BM crimped fittings in good shape used.

A lot of people underestimate ebay and automatically judge as it **** place to buy car goods if youre someone who is a cheap ricer teenage flyboy. As this is somewhat true, there are many deals to be had with good/decent quality products for good prices, so long as you search hard enough. Cool find from the looks of it.

when people actually use ebay as a place to sell random stuff an in auction environment and not as a storefront for cheap imported crap from china, yeah it can be nice.

Yeah, those were the days, when people actually auctioned things on an auction site.

That said, I did just "Buy it now" a carb kit for a quad yesterday. Couldn't find one anywhere else and the local motorcycle dealer, after having mine on order for two weeks, said that it would be backordered another month.

I complain about this exact statement all the time. Every time I think i'm going to search ebay for something, I get frustrated and quit. Every stupid search turns up 50000 results from the same 2 vendors selling the same 3 items. And its some stupid ricer POS part.

I do kind of miss the eBay of the mid to late 90s. I used to use it quite a a bit, both as a buyer and a seller. At the time, the idea of using it as a flea market hadn't really caught on.
