Here's a guy that buys parts presumably at retail, then sells them on Ebay to people who assume they're getting it cheaper than they can get it at the dealer. He's got a pair of new caps going for $65+, and the bidding isn't over yet! He does this all the time! jmb9, if you're in the club, sorry to let the cat out of the bag.

I've since learned that eBay is not automatically cheaper. In fact, I've seen stuff get bid up to ridiculous amounts - I feel like shouting at the other bidders, saying "Don't you know it's USED?! That you'll need it checked out first before using?! That a brand-new one costs about the same?!" But then I quiet down and realize I've got some stuff to sell myself, so let the bidding begin!

I'm having them shipped ground UPS to the Office where I work. It's cheaper than having them delivered to my residence.
