Just snagged four OEM spark plug wires AND OEM plug caps for 99 cents!

I think that the wires are all the same part number (front plugs), but for $0.99, I can make them work.

The plug caps appear to be for a V-Star, but again, I'll not worry.

Not bad Kevin!!

 

All I ever got for $.99 off eBay was a complete used wiring loom. BUT...... when I got it it had every plug in module from the bike still attached including the TCI. That didn't show in the pics. LOL.

 

Nice to catch a gem once in a while.

Hey, I just received an MKII TCI in the mail that I won for $10.50 off ebay. I took the cover off and it looked very good inside. I took it out to the garage and plugged it up to the bike after swapping vacuum hoses around and it started up perfectly and the bike sounds great.

WAHOO. :cool10::cool10::cool10::cool10:

No, the shipping wasn't free, but only $5.95.

And no, I don't know why you are asking.:confused24:

 

In the eBay world I see a lot of items selling for a buck with $20 shipping fee's. Your is still gloat-able at $7 bucks. Most eBayer's are aware of loading up the shipping practice, but my apologies for not being more enlightening....

Yeah, I suspected you may be alluding to the inflated shipping charges for 'cheap' items, but I thought you could see the entire transaction cost, including the nominal shipping charge, when I included the link.

 

I am not a novice when it comes to eBay, having participated in more than 620 transactions since April 1999.

Sorry didn't look at the auction. We're fairly equal in eBay activity. I've been on since '98 and 660 transactions. I used to sell, but haven't for years. Just :mo money:

I don't think you see that as often as you once did. I think that Ebay started charging for the total, item plus shipping, when calculating final value fees to put an end to that nonsense.

I discovered a complete set of nearly new Venture carbs for $25 less $6.85 in eBay Bucks for a grand total $18.15 plus shipping of $11. These carbs still had the inked part number on them (26H) and the factory installed anti-tamper pilot screw plugs. I opened up the bowls and there appears to never had fuel in them. Yet, they had never been cleaned, because the inked '26H on the bowls is washed away as soon as the carbs are cleaned.

I found these carbs outside of the normal eBay Motors venue. The seller had listed them as 'Mikuni carb' and mentioned the '26H' in the description (that's how I found them), but did not know what the carbs were for. I was the only bidder.:cool10:

Wow!! Nice find.

I picked up an as new Nolan 103 NCom Helmet in my size with the Bluetooth headset installed for a 'Buy It Now' of $75 bucks with free shipping. The guy had worn it once, and he had all the docs to go along with it. Almost broke my arm hitting the bin button.

Anyone else??
