Are there alternatives to ebay? They've gotten way out of hand lately, with all the charges of selling. There must be some other auction sites around that we can get slightly used stuff for our bikes. A little help everyone?

i agree that ebay has gotten way out of hand. the only good thing is that there are so many people on there that it really isn't too hard to find a rare part.

You can find the parts most of the time, but it's turned into a higher than retail market. Too many sellers and they try to off load items after the prices drop. They paid the higher original price so they can't drop below what they paid for it. Have you guys checked out the price of the Xbox 360? Buy it now for $2000+!!!!!

We did see one for 1,000,000.00, but I'm sure that was someone with a spare dollar and bored enough to see if any looked at it so they made the fake listing. I made a joke about this last night to my brother, a little too late. He drives a truck and is in good with one of the suppliers. The guy knew they were hard to find/buy and told him a couple weeks ago you could let him buy two of them for the normal retail price for both his kids. Damn... those $2000 Xboxes on eBay could be mine. My brother didn't want them, he's like me, wait until next year when they are half the price. I'd feel like an idiot buying something at $400 knowing it's going to be half that in a few months. Besides, I have a modded Xbox I never play now. Not enough free time.

There was once a site called bikebidder or something, self explanitary what it is really but i don`t think it got many people supporting it. Shame really.
