Yup, It seems folk are cashing in on the ebay phenominon,but buyers are to blame. A couple of years ago my sky box developed a fault, bought a
replacement on ebay for £15, put mine on as faulty and got £25 for it.

i always look everywhere online before ill part with my hard earned on E-bay, as there is always someone out there pulling a fast one 
What MTB have you got, and what/where do you ride?
Ive got a Dawes xc2.4 with upgraded Front forks, and a set of SPD pedals to keep me firmly fixed to the bike as im flying downhill, and over the jumps
one of these, but with Rockshox Dart 3 instead of the marzocchi http://www.luvbikes.com/products.php?plid=m1b0s2p2848&z=3224

hmmm, from the ebay listing, the seller of these rotors is not pulling a fast one - starting bid was £ 5 although post is a bit steep.
as for what mtb I have, some may say too many. ride mostly locally down south but done a most of the national parks - peak, lake, yrokshire
ex/dartmoor, wales .....
not been out as much as I should as the kit car is using up a lot of time. grr......

Even better deal
HERE
I've just purchased a complete set of brakes and one of these rotors (fitted a 180mm at the front). I can vouch for the service, returns policy
and most of all price 
There's a free P&P option you can use on even the smallest item - just don't expect next day delivery.
Having said that I ordered a part on Friday afternoon (only £3.99) with free P&P and it arrived Tuesday morning so not that bad.

Me and swimbo went to the lake districts earlier this year. had a good trek around Grizdale Forrest near windermere. planning on going to dalby
forrest some time soon, as ive heard lots of good things about it
i always use wiggle.co.uk for ordering my cycle stuff. they do some great offers, like a few months ago they had 20% off if you spent £100 or more

totally crazy!! Bet that person (errr idiot) wont be too pleased when they get the invoice. Cursory glance at the postage saying free (for colection
in person) might result in them getting a bit of a shock!!
PS I have a Tomac Eli with RockShox Revelation 426 forks, Sram / Shimano running gear and Avid brakes

generally I find chain reaction to be cheapest - never had a problem with them, but as ^^^^ pointed out, wiggle are good for price too, again never
had problem with them either.
if you do routine maintenacne, you can buy spares in advance but tehre are time when you need something urgently so a trip to local shoppe or
halfrauds is necessary.
my delete key seems not to be working.

I like using http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=565for parts their site also tells you is items are in stock unlike some
others and postage is included in the price. I must admit my favourite ride is Glen Tress although I don't get to go there as often as I would
like.
