Default I'm a sucker for ebay...I just can't help it

It seems every time I look on ebay I see something to buy. I don't need most of the stuff. I just can't help myself. Some things are just to cheap (IMO) and others I just think they are hard to find, so I pick them up. I just got these....why? I don't know. Seemed like a good buy at the time. I might be sorry when I get them. I just think side pipe stuff is hard to find at a good price. Anyone else have this "problem" http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2485068288&s sPageName=ADME:B:EOABS:6

I hear you....Not more than 20 minutes ago I won this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7910742017

And was actual going to bid on the reset cable YOU had listed

So, yes it can be a bit addicting.

I don't consider it a "problem". Its your money, spend it however you see fit. Glad to see you're having luck finding good Vette stuff.

If the parts you get are even close to good, you stole 'em! These go used, complete, with some corrosion and pitting (very common) and with mufflers/pipes for 3K. My guess on these covers, especially with those nice looking center sections, would be 800-1,000 dollars. Good job!

Now, go out there and buy my chrome 409 chevy valve covers! cheap, cheap deal baby...

Don't feel bad, I've done my fair share also. However, while most of the stuff I buy I don't need at the given time, eventually it all seems to be a good deal or I don't buy.

Good Luck with your car!

Default Ebay - It's an adventure!

I've purchased 2 corvettes (94&2000), and countless other items.

It's always christmas at my house. I keep the Post Office and UPS busy. And the best thing is that my wife even stopped asking what I was getting!
