    Is there any other worth wild sites as an alternative to ebay?? been looking for a few things online on ebay and the trading post lately and theres been little to raise an eyebrow.

    I know of a few others like gumtree and oztron, what others are around of interest?

    thats what i noticed actually, a few items i recongised on ebay are cheaper than oztrion.

    Im mainly chasing a trail bike & parts, i managed to score a honda xr350 for 425 bucks in good condition, the only problem was when the bloke test drove it before i came over he stacked it and rootd the side casing lol

    oztion may be worth a go, there are more sellers than buyers there and 90% of the crap on there is just that, cheap rubbish that most people would throw out, people just list there because its free. I've only sold one thing there in about 2 years compared to hundreds of sales on ebay. There are a few others around really not worth bothering with probably the next biggest one would be lleyton and Bec Hewitts E-swap site which is also a waste of time.

    I'd stick with ebay, trading post and actually rather than look at other classified sites go sign up a to a few dirt bike forums and have a look through their for sale forums. Or even better look call up a few bike wreckers.

    amazon has everything even groceries, the problem is tring to find a seller to post to oz, books, cd's, dvd's and some other items no problem everything else can be difficult and expensive!
    I ordered some metallica merchandise for $110 postage was quoted later at $89.50. I cancelled the order, I ordered similar items from a sellers website and postage was $24.
