I am thinking about getting a set of rim's
either racing Hart C 5's, or Mille Miglia's. Is it too risky you
think to try doing it over e-bay.

 

Not if it's done right.

Sellers have feedback, see how well their past transactions have been.

Confirm shipping costs, make sure it includes insurance.
Pay with a credit card whenever possible, so you can dispute the charges if something goes wrong.

There are so many things you can do to protect yourself if a deal goes sour. Credit card, insurance and feedback are the three best things IMO.

 

i bought my 16" SE rims...with tires, you will not beliveit, but its only cost me 200 with shipping etc.!!! jejeje i think this person didnt know anything about cars.

I bought my front strut bar and is amazing.

NOTE: just be sure that your product will has insurance, rasonable shipping cost and the seller has a good feedback

 

yes

 

Get the Mille Miglia's......

 

Check feedback.....
A ton of bad feedback = don't buy it.

 

i have bought tons of things off ebay, but none of them were really worth much money. So far i havent had any major problems, but for a bigger investment make sure you play it safe - if possible you can link us to the auction your looking at and we could check it out for you

 

i got my superwhite gauges for $20, clear corners for $25, FSTB for $25, aluminum dash trim $98, altezza tail for $41!!! and couple other misc. maxima parts for cheap price...

check the seller's feedback see if he's got enough positive comments for u to trust him and buy, u'll save $$ from ebay =)

 

What about ebay body parts? I know lots of peeps sell bumpers etc. on ebay. Anyone ever had any issues with these?

 

And after getting raped in shipping, that would be?

 

I am an ebay fanatic...I think I'm to the point I require some counseling
Just as long as you play it safe, and use a transaction service like paypal, you will save yourself SO MUCH MONEY! I have purchased hundreds of things off of ebay, and have never had a problem. Always buy stuff that includes pictures of the actual product being sold (not a "stock" photo), and make sure the people selling are not brand new to ebay. There is always a risk, but frankly, with the money I've saved, its a risk I'm always willing to take.

i just bought a jeep on ebay... does that count?

 

Has anyone bought one of those Service Manual CDs listed on eBay?
How thorough are they? I'm just a weekend knuckle-masher, not gonna do anything major, but if I need to replace a starter, are these cd's a help??
Thanks

 

Ive bought stuff from ebay before, knock on wood, havent been stiffed. you just have to check and double check the background of a seller. it says a lot

 

I buy tons of stuff on ebay. Go for it.
