...is great. I don't know what we did without it. Just to name a couple, out of many experiences.<br /><br />I was just able to obtain two somewhat obscure replacement OMC parts (from my motor theft), from two different vendors for less than 10% of what they would cost new and about 20% of what I had been quoted for used parts from a service dealer.<br /><br />I also just listed an item for $1600.00 (to raise funds for a new motor) that I bought new in 1981 but hardly used. It cost me $30.00 to list and another $30.00 once I get the first bid. The item is not shipable so it needs to be purchased by someone local.<br /><br />To date, I have no bids (5 days to go) BUT there are ***46*** watchers (not looky loos but people who have put the item on their watch list) and I've had two emails asking if they could see it. Now you know with 46 watchers there is most likely going to be a least a small flurry of bidders at the end. With ebay you can give much better descriptions and pictorials than you can anywhere else. <br /><br />Had I put this item in the local classified I doubt it would have drawn much attention even at a lower price. I know I'm counting my eggs before they hatch but at least ebay is providing some action that I would not get/see anywhere else.
