Scrap diff on ebay
Moderator: martauto
Any one knows who runs that BMW Spare shop? They have some good auctions at times!
See how they've made the most of their online marketing techniques... The white room.. classy Nikon photos.. The layout of their ads... the good use of sales pitch in their ads that would make Dell boy proud.
Makes all the difference from someone with an iPhone pic of a rusted up small case diff on a concrete yard floor..
Hats off to them!

Check the bidding, its going up £5 at a time, blatant shill bidding! To confirm the shill bidding they have listed it as private listing so nobody can see who is bidding
IIRC these were the guys that were bidding their own tech 1 spoilers up to £400 odd then re-listing them a few weeks later at £350 bin

True, but you don't half pay for the packaging.

I often 'watch' items of his that seem to be making mad money ,but strangely they seldom appear in his feedback. His feedback is mostly made up of clips and low value tat .
I am sure he does serve bits for strong money but nowhere near the amount that he appears to.

Alpina used what ever the base car had so if the base car was a tech 2 sport it had a 3.91 and if it was an auto cabrio it was a 3.73 etc etc.87mtech27 wrote:I think Alpina used 3:73 LSDs on E30s

Not that I would, but they do let you and the buyer agree to cancel the sale, therefore cancelling the associated fees!!!B7 wrote:I'd like to see his eBay monthly bill. Unless they go in and cancel the transaction afterwards?
Wouldn't think you could do that too often though!!!

You would think so wouldn't you. But then eBay is too busy ruling in the favour of scamming buyers to notice dodgy selling techniques!!!!miniblob wrote:Not that I would, but they do let you and the buyer agree to cancel the sale, therefore cancelling the associated fees!!!B7 wrote:I'd like to see his eBay monthly bill.
