What ebay address do you use?

[Venturous Randy]

The search address I have used for a long time, Yamaha Venture motorcycle parts, used to have about 250 to 300 listing in their auction only section with at least some used Venture parts. Now, this same address has about 1,000 to 1,100 listing and it seems like fewer used parts. Most are aftermarket parts consisting of handlebar grips, lights, covers and on and on, with many duplicate listings in a row.

I will occasionally add buy it now, but in almost all cases, the buy it now prices are so outrageous they are a joke.

Have any others experienced this or have any better suggestions?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Suggestion.............be patient. I've learned to be patient finding what I want and it has always paid off getting what I want and paying what I think is very fair..

Yes indeed Randy the market is flooded with wanna be's!! What Peder said! There are still good deals but you have to look harder than ever!

One suggestion, Randy.

Modify your search string to include: "-fits" (without the quotes).

Seems eBay automatically labels junk as "fitting" a Yamaha Venture. The word "fits" is in many of these product headings.

 

Also: search only in "North America". That eliminates much of the junk from China, Hong Kong, etc.
