yeah, ebay has turned into a bunch of crap.
I did however just get a set of 4 like new 2006 jeep rims for $199, and 60 shipping.
all the yards around here wanted 100 a rim.
most non reserve listings get pulled if they do not get a high enough bid, or if they have a reserve, it is usually too high.
used parts/ items should go for 1/2 of what they were new, but it seems most want near full price for something that should not go that high.
then you have people marking up shipping ridiculous amounts.
I did the math on the rims I got, and it should have been under 40 dollars, but the guy wanted to make some $$ and marked the shipping up another 20 bucks.
I got a spare used but perfect tank for my suzuki TLS for 50 dollars plus 30 for shipping a while back. That was a steal since a new one will run a few hundred.
for me, craigslist works great, but they need parts listings for sleds/ toys, and not enough people use craigslist.
