I have to say the thing I do find good with eBay is when u need to find certain things its a lot easier looking on here then having to drive all over town looking.
I got really lucky with one store who had a huge variety of what is normally very hard to find. There prices matched what I would have paid else where but the postage a lot less than my time and petrol searching.
When life gives you lemons.
Squeeze them into people's eyes
