E Bay and the not always a bargain issue

Post by Kev L »

Not Storm related but I have been keeping an eye on these out of interest -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131055679640? ... 1423.l2649

Makes new versions of the same thing seem very cheap -

http://gibsonexhausts.co.uk/page_1.php?pgenme=home

The same thing applies for a lot of supposed NoS items which come up for silly money, but if you do some research and follow the changes in part number they are still available from the manufacturer.
