eBay Junk & Crap for the SVX

Anyone ever notice that MOST of the stuff listed on eBay for the SVX does NOT fit the SVX and that most of the stuff listed is absolute junk?

Also, there always appears to be some jerk that overprices silly parts like a trunk release for $70.00 or a power window cluster for $60.00 from Westminster, MD..

And just because you label it with JDM does not make a '97 grille worth $299.99!!!

Take this headlight for example... It's shiney and nice but not worth $80.00 in my opinion..

Re: eBay Junk & Crap for the SVX

Yes, I have noticed it. There were only 3 or 4 pages of stuff at one time and it was SVX parts, but now it is led lights for every part of your car which I would not let get as close as 100' to my car.

And no, JDM parts don't make your car go faster.

Re: eBay Junk & Crap for the SVX

That light looks almost new, considering a new one is $330, $79 for that one seems fair to me, if you are really getting the one in the photo.

Re: eBay Junk & Crap for the SVX

When I do a search I use -this and -that and it illiminates a ton of crap.
I've noticed lately that the price of parts for the SVX has gone up a lot. Usually a headlight is about $30.00 or less. Strange that the price of used SVX has changed very little.

Re: eBay Junk & Crap for the SVX

That's amazing! I honestly didn't know you could chose to block certain words from your search.

Shows how much I really know about eBay, lol.

Thanks for the tip, guys.

So when searching Google for something productive, I could just type "-porn"?

Re: eBay Junk & Crap for the SVX

Too much crap lately on ebay. I tried to filter them once...
Ebay management should find a solution for this.. maybe an option to filter by seller location? (IP address)

Don't forget -xenon! I usually wind up with a - string about 30 words long. It can be challenging on ebay.de!
