You know what they say 'There's one born every minute'.  But on eBay they line up in droves.

What you do not know is if he sells many, if any, of these parts. He may have cronies that bid up the price and then complete a fake transaction after the sale only to relist again.

What would that accomplish other than losing a fee to ebay?

Those times that the bids are run up high, and the guy makes the sale, he more than recovers the piddly listing fee. The whole concept is to create value where there otherwise is very little.

Bigger question is, why aren't we all doing that very same thing with our left over/spare parts?

Heck, with just a few sales we could be buying more guns to work on and create more parts to sell.

Anybody???

I ask myself that question and i would rather hang on to them for one of the members who just might need a part. Or even build another gun.

$8 here $10 there
that will start to add up if thats the case
ebay makes a little over 10% from each sale not including the listing not to mention the 4% paypal makes off each transaction

You sell something for $10 you are lucky to get $8.50 in your pocket. Fees, fees,fees, we need more fees! Sounds like Gov. brown in Ca. More fees, more taxes.
We need to keep going and have fun doing it.

The choice is there. I have bought and sold on eBay, parts that did not sell here, have sold for up to 3 times my forum asking price!  Also, bought parts that I could not get on the forums and may have laid a premium, but it was by choice.
