f170 ggt im trying to build up a pile of spares the future when spares will be hard to come by, ive been going for parts for various models cos you never know what cars your going to get other parts i like to collect such as badges and manuals
So let me get this straight you can find spares easily in your scrapyards (in particular chrome wing mirrors) so you can afford to throw them away.
But now you are contradicting yourself by saying your trying to build up a pile of spares. But surely if you were building up a pile of spares you wouldn't threw perfectly good spares away? Also when you say various models don't you mean all models,
it seems my ebaying has given me a bad name before ive even started here.
that mirror was broke, others come up so i thought id just get rid of it, i had scuffed it on a wall anyway. I tend to stop at scrap yards if i see them and get parts like that when they are on offer. also as u have gathered im an ebay fanatic. I've seen the posts about me made by various people and they can say what they like, if I want somthing Ill bid on it. sorry if thats offended anyone but thats always been my way. I tend not to sell my parts on cos otherwise i might as well not bother getting them in the first place.
I do have a fair ammount of stuff in my parts pile now, i got lots of stuff in a job lot from a bloke in doncaster, he said he was clearing a mates shop out. my star buy has to be the heater pipes that run into the car (the steel ones) i got them for a fiver from that bloke. I had to travel to pick the stuff up but the prices I paid more than made up for it.
Although I only have one car now, I want an MG (not a turbo) a 1.3 and a 1.6. judging by some of your post four cars is minimal, it seems that some of you moaning about me have the equivelent of a scrap yard in their back yards and a stock of parts to match I cant help feeling that you are a bit two faced with me.
Fair play. It's human nature to be narked when another ebayer outbids you. I've largely given up on ebay for parts and there is a danger that items on offer can exceed their true value-but that's the risk that you take... It's nice to have a look at what's on offer though!
