Topic: Ebay Auction Bidding

This topic came up at Monte's last First Sunday Race. Most all of us use Ebay to obtain at least some of our cars and parts for racing. We all talk about some of the deals we have gotten on Ebay, and even some of the things we are watching. I can't help but wonder how many times we end up bidding against each other? It seems like evrytime we start racing a new class of car, or try a new type of chassis the cost of those items seems to go up on Ebay. Is it our own group of racers driving the costs up?

So here's a thought. If there is an Ebay item you are bidding on, post it here. A link to it would be great, or at least the item/auction number. I would ask other members to please respect member's bids. There may be a time when someone is bidding on something you would really like to have. If this were the case I would hope maybe some dialog regarding the item might result in a friendly solution, financially benefitial to both sides?

Re: Ebay Auction Bidding

I really like those Fly 250 LMs! I don't have one, but I'm resisting the temptation to buy another Fly car!!!

Re: Ebay Auction Bidding

Bill, I got one last week, the green one. Looks nice but It's not very impressive performance wise. I'll bring it on Thursday.

Re: Ebay Auction Bidding

I'd guess you're correct in stock form but with the right upgrades may be a decent runner.

Re: Ebay Auction Bidding

I've pulled the magnet, added a little lead, and changed tires. It definitely needs more poop. Of course it might help if I didn't run it right after my Slot it.

Re: Ebay Auction Bidding

If it was yellow it could pass for a banana!!!!

Re: Ebay Auction Bidding

The only one's i remember (if i can still do that) from the old "golden" days were bright yellow, and i never knew they came in other colors.

Re: Ebay Auction Bidding

I found this on EBay and it's a very fair price for a very good Difalco controller if anyone is interested:

Re: Ebay Auction Bidding

Congratulation on you're win of the "reacquired" slot! Hope you did not have to pay more that you sold it for. Neat body/color scheme.

Re: Ebay Auction Bidding

I really don't remember..............It was a LONG time ago!.........................

I probably gave it away to one of the high school boys when we first started NASTE.

Re: Ebay Auction Bidding

Now here's a pile of stuff I probably did pay too much for.........

But hey, there's some NASTE stuff in there!!!
