i blew my rear end out a few weeks ago. well i was looking on ebay and ran across a big red 250 COMPLETE rear end. swing arm and everything. would actually be an upgrade to my rear end. starting bid was 9.99$................okay.

well 30 secs to go it was 82.00$. okay fine. i put in a bid in for 90.00$, 40$ shipping thats 140$ for a complete rear, heck of a deal. ebay tells me hello XXXXXXXX if this is not you sign out...im thinking im good to go. i put my bid in, it ask me to register or put in my password to log in..........F word. its not my account at the house and i dont know it off the top of my head.

bottom line i it sold for 82.00$

apparently i dont work ebay enough and it owned me.

I've purchased a lot of stuff lately on ebay and so far It's been good. I got a factory 125 trx honda carb for $1.45 and I also purchased from the same seller a air intake hose for a trx 125
with all the hoses and bottom of the air box for $10.00 after shipping for the two transactions it came to a little over $16.00, the hose alone new sells for $25.00. I've already taken the carb apart and cleaned it up,just waiting to test it out,then I'm going to re-sale it on ebay.

i hate you.................haha no but man im so ill with ebay right now. somebody got a great deal. go them tho, i cant be to mad. ill keep looking.

I check ebay almost daily for deals, hehehe but I just hit that bidding at the right time. I don't win them all,but I don't let it get me down either, for everyone I miss,I have gained in the end better deals afterwards. Just keep an eye open on ebay and you'll find it again and maybe at even a better deal.lol

When I use ebay, I watch the auctions for a few days/weeks on the things I want and then after I figure out the "low end" price I decide on a maximum price including shipping that I'm willing to pay. Then, I just bid that maximum bid and walk away. If I win, I win. If I don't, I find another one and bid my maximum on that one. I eventually win for the price I want to pay.

That's harder to do on rare items, but I'm sure another one will come back up for auction eventually.

It's funny watching auctions with "newbie" bidders. A lot of times they bid more for stuff than what you can pay retail. Or, when I see people in bidding wars and the price goes above what someone else is selling with a "buy now" price for the same item.

Yea, that is funny for sure! I add the item to my watch list,then wait til the last minute to bid, I have a limit set and stick to it. the main ones I watch are the better seller feed back and no reserve. Just like you,if I win great! if not no big deal.
