creative Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Is it a rant or more something I have noticed. I have recently been getting some good prices from eBay on various bits and pieces but one thing I noticed I browsed 27 pages of car parts and every single item was a buy it now. Now, I have no problem with this but what happened to auctions? This is the whole point of eBay is it not? Any one else noticed this?

Jamesy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 sign of the times mate - people prefer to see what the item is priced for - and prefer to be able to buy it there and then rather than pitch their luck on a live auction.

Lol... Worse thing is, I just checked! Lol I have never noticed before but it was just something that caught my eye. There have been some cracking bargains though. Just picked up a full timing kit for the V8, $2000 from ford..... $280 from the states delivered! Money I saved I thought I would splash out and get an uprated oil pump.

I picked up a 1/12 model car a few months back, normally sell for about £250ish and i got it for £30 because the seller had put it in the wrong section and with a rubbish title, I don't think anyone had seen it.
