ebay rip off!!!!!
« on: 11 February 2012, 07:15 »
hi all im finding that ebay lately just seems to be a rip off for parts and people making silly money!
i would just like to share my findings

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK4-CENTRE-CONSOLE-GEARSTICK-ASHTRAY-SURROUND-/370422727565?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item563eea438d

being into tps got a price of £36.10 all inc for center console

also just to add i watched a bora center vent cage on ebay sell for £36 because aparantly they are *RARE*

ordered mine from TPS £2.75 inc vat

i think we should make a thread warning people of this what you guys think :wink:
