I've bought almost all my stuff off of ebay... do you mean, ebay brand stuff (no name brand) or what? Ebay is usually the cheapest place to get name brand parts.. you just have to be sure you're getting the real part, check out they're feedback and see what other people said before you buy anything.

just be really careful about who you buy from... read the feedback and make sure its the real part, not a knockoff

well i bought a cold air intake off ebay, and it could barely fit! It said it was for a 91 240, brand new, but the hoses were too short plus i had to have extra holed drilled to make it fit right. but it works good. So be careful, some people on ebay may get the years mixed up like they did for my cold air intake.

Yeah not me personally, but some people have bought it and said it works just fine. Biggamehit on these forums actually has it and said it works fine and takes abuse.

Ebay has alot of ****ty bootleg knock-offs so its best you be careful even if the price seems amazing. Quality is worth the $ IMO

yea i hate when people call it EBAY parts

eBay is nothing more then the storefront where independent sellers market product.

ssac
megan
xtd
etc

these companies are making lots of money and are able to make product better. for the most part you can also find good oem parts such as distributer, alternators ignitors etc. for me personally i check my local shops first and then i go on ebay to look up parts. Somethings you clearly want to stay away from. Just read feedbacks that tells you everything you need to know
