ive never had any bad luck on ebay. when i bid, i wont buy from anyone under 98% feedback and i always check their feedback comments before i place a bid.
I heard to try not to buy rims off of ebay. That when alot of people put them up for sale on there for cheap, they are usually bent at the hubs. But again, it was something i was told.

Probably very few DSMers can run 1000cc's. Most use Safc's for tuning, and they definately cant run ones that large.

I use ebay all the time myself. its not that its really hard to find good deals its just you gotta know how to use it right. put in search words that relate to your product but not eactly the name of it that way some rookie who's tryin to sell something and either mispelled a word in the title or just didnt give it a nice title you can find it and chances are not as many people will look at it and bid. about 3-4-5 months ago i was lookin for a new cell phone. well i went around looked on ebay and the one i wanted was like 150-200 + shipping depending on accessories and stuff. well i went around different websites and found out that the EXACT same phone model number has like one different digit in europe then the one here in the US. so i went ahead and typed that model in ...well i got the phone for $60 shipped and it worked fine. Another one happened just like a week ago. i was looking around to buy a turbo kit for '97 Eclipse GS well the top 2 manufacturers that make kits are HAHN Racecraft and Star Performance. went around lookin on ebay typed in Hahn didnt give me anything, typed in Star turbo = gave one result with buy it now for a Stage 2 kit for $2750 + shipping...which is how much the kit costs anyways($2850+shipping) so wasnt really apoint gettin it. so i just typed in Star..narrowed down the results to Turboes, Superchargers.....and this time had 2 things come up that one with only buy it now and the other one said...."Star kit includes..." clicked on it....wat do ya know someone who JUST got an Ebay account is selling a stage 2 star kit brand new...startin bid $500 there were like about 80 people who looked at it throughout the week and one person bidded on it...i waited for the last moment..got it for $610 shipped...
