I find that many people who bid on ebay items are not very price savvy. One iten I bid on then watched escalate beyound belief. It was a pair of used rubber targa holders. I bit $20 for the pair (Performace Products advertises $32 per pair. The final price was almost $45. I emailed the snipped looser and told him about Pelican and Performance; he hadn't heard of either company.

I bid on an AA poster, max bid of $5 and was very supprised to find out that I won. Since it was such a good price, I figured I would also order the Tech Tips 700 and another poster for the garage (also an AA product). After weeks of calling trying to reach the auction guy, I finally had my wife call from home durring the week. She left several messages and finally got ahold of someone to finalize the auction and take my order. Later that week I ordered a Custome built muffler for AJ's. Guess which came first... Both. Over four weeks for AA to deliver 3 items all of which ARE THEIR OWN PRODUCTS.

Since the PO of my car highly recommended AA (why?) I decided to try another AA auction. This time its for their rubber seals kit. I know thw pieces are repros, but the price was good and they must be better than the ripped and missing seals I have now. I wonder how long I will have to wait this time?
