Noticed that a few new parts to fit a vr/s commodore on ebay are being bid on and the price that they are getting to is higher sometimes by a lot than the price that you can walk straight in to your local holden dealer and get over the counter.
Example fog light switch on one auction is now over $30.....you can walk straight into you gmh parts and get it for under $20 and theres no postage if you get it from him.
It pays if you are buying genuine parts that are listed as new on ebay that you check out what it costs from the parts bloke down the road at your local dealer. Another example is CAI's.

a lot of people are convinced they are guaranteed a bargain on ebay and get quite emotional about it, its best to approach it with a clear head

Smart Buyers?

I was watching one electronic component on Ebay. The seller had it listed a number of times, including some with a Buy It Now option.

I was rather surprised when the open bid item fetched more that the same item at Buy it Now from the same seller finishing at the same time.
