Just got a great bargain on fuel injectors; what's your best ebay bargain?
So, 4 off weber injectors, 3000 miles since the last clean, generally £90 new each and I got all four for £57 inc postage. He didn't put the
model number up, so if they're not rated as claimed I'll send them back but it was worth a punt at that price.
The chap selling them claims they flow 304 cc/min which is what I need (there or there abouts) rather than the 270cc mine currently flow.
So, have you got a decent ebay bargain recently?

My best bargain was a set of climbing holds. They were selling for around £50-£60 consistently, the seller just put new ones on every time. Then I
noticed one set was due to finish right in the middle of an England Euro football game (a few years back now). Lo and behold, not much interest so I
got a set for just over a tenner!

Mint & complete Twin Weber 40 DCOEs, inlet manifold, new Pipercross panel filter and backplate - £93.50.......and I collected, the only time
I've ever been genuinely embarrassed handing the money over to someone! He was a really nice guy too, was about 3 years ago rather than recently
though.

I got my vizard pinto book for £2.50 inc postage (turned up 2 days later aswell) - amazon have some listed between £32 and £60 at the moment 
no one seemed to want it with wee crease on the front cover - as if that makes any difference if your actually going to used it
also got a set of escort cossie con rods for £60 (but they did take nearly a month to come  )
and a standard grind cossie crank for £150 (only about £50 less than the going rate at the time, but it arrived in less than 24 hours )
and I've had several rucksacks for less than a tenner - you just can't beat the 1990's karrimorr's (the new ones are rubbish
IMHO)

I was watching a set of Escort stalks and two low feedback members got into a bidding war over them and they went for somewhere around £20. What they
hadn't noticed was the seller had two sets for sale and I got the others for about £2

I was looking for some alloys for my tintop on Gumtree.
There was a car for sale with the alloys I wanted and it also had projector headlights. It was for sale with a head gasket problem.
I emailed the bloke and asked for his wheels and headlights, I offered £120, he counter offered £150 and my old worthless wheels.
I drove to York and picked them up, there turned out to be 5 wheels.
I sold the spare wheel for £75, the headlights for £160 and ended up with a set of wheels worth £350
Wish I could find deals like that more often.

Tons of 99p one bid things..
1.8 zetec engine was probably the best, although i picked one up nothing from somewhere else as well.
I regularly stick 99p in the search box and see what pops up.

I bought a couple of Bosch Nissan fitment wide band sensors for £3 each of someone that had a load for sale , by the time I had checked them out and
found to be usable in place of the more common VW sensor they were all gone or else I would have bought a dozen of them.

£1 for a brand new three piece suite. Couple had bought suite but then seperated before it was delivered. Mrs got custody of the suite but it
wouldn't fit in her new converted mill-block apartment so it was left, still wrapped in plastic, in a ground floor garage. The paperwork with
the suite proved it was £1800 and never been sat on.

I got my Sierra diff for 99p, collected just down the road, which I was pretty pleased with. For an extra £30, they threw in most of the remaining
donor parts.

Sierra 1.8 CVH - £2.50. Blown head gasket, but I only wanted the block. Crank and bores were standard size and no machining required either!
Abandoned the project (at the time) and sold the sump for £30..
Zetec flywheel and clutch - cost me £3 less than the postage he paid..to go with the Focus RS Clutch - £25
Sure there have been more.
Long live RWD...
