is this ebayer dodgy?

[suprra_girl]

auction i'm interested in
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320051253372&fromMakeTrack=true

he makes up on the price with shipping & handling LOL

but his feedback makes me wonder :icon_conf

on page 4 or 5 i think, one ebayer has bought like 20 of the strut braces but yet that ebay has not onsold them

possible he's a scammer? i don't wanna deal with a scammer, particularly internationally lol

There are more than one seller with those bars. If you have doubts about thisone, I do too, get it from another oner Suzy..

 

[suprra_girl]

i found another guy in the uk that also has them and looks a bit more legit, i've asked both questions so i shall decide from their answers and whether they are actually fluent engrish hehe

That's actually pretty typical of sellers on ebay . A good rule of thumb on ebay is, if the price sounds too good to be true, check the price of shipping . I've bought many items like that before on ebay and never had a problem. That's just the sellers way of making a profit and fooling the buyer into thinking they're getting the best deal around. If you add up the total price I'd say it's damn close to any other sellers combined price on a similar item. I don't see anything wrong with the auction, he's a legit seller....

This guy isn't a scammer. Alot of people have these strut bars.

 

[suprra_girl]

well what made me curious is that an ebay bought 20 odd of these, left feedback covering a page and didn't onsell them?

it just made me wonder, but if you guys think he's alright then i'll take a second look

Thanks

the guy who bought the 20, may have been putting them on a retail shelf somewhere. It doesnt look suspicious to me.

I see this all the time, it's not a scammer in anyway, but you could say it's pretty selfish for him to do this...

Ebay charges a certain amount of $ for the item they're selling, the more the item costs, the more the auction costs to make, he's avoiding paying alot more by making the product $5. I see it all the time.

 

[suprra_girl]

well hopefully he'll reply to my question

thanks for your input guys

brilliant!

btw,
The strut bar looks exactly like mine,
and I've been satisfied with it.
It was on the car when I bought it though, so I'm not sure where my friend got it from...

 

[Wendigo]

Let us know if he replies....I'm in the market for one as well

Do you guys want to know a REALLY cheap place to get strut tower bars???:naughty:

 

[chedderknight]

i bought one off ebay before brand new, got it for $12 shipped, just gotta look around, that price is a bit steep for a generic bar

I'm listening .

 

[Sl1dewaysSupra]

Ok, I bought this one. http://www.andysautosport.com/toyota/1986_1992_supra/suspension/strut_bars/megan_racing/ When I got it it was not the one in the pic. but it still fit fine. For the price I wasn't going to pitch a bitch. The one on the web page is the second version of the Megan Racing I think. The one that I got is the first version.

 

[supra90turbo]

The one in the pic is a honda one, as it's flat straight from the strut towers. Ours need to raise up a bit to clear the engine, so that's just a file photo to show an example. If anything, that would be the rear STB, but it's not.

 

[starscream5000]

Is the bar you got from them round, oval, or flat? Total price including shipping?

 

[Sl1dewaysSupra]

It is round, I think it was around $20-30 after ground shipping.

Lol @ dodgy! I'm gonna start using that one.
