i just recently won this!! yAyayayaAAA!!

I got a new stem.. I don't like the "mobius" stem that came on my specialized since it's 90mm, 5deg rise. I needed a 100-110mm 0-deg rise and finally found a cheap one in black. I'm happy. :)

Jamis dakar sport frame, set of hayes mechanical disc, shimano wellgo clipless, avid FR 5 levers, Manituo Black comp, ahead hedset and some other random stuff for only.... $250... That i was proud of.

Avid BB7 mechanicals and levers for only 90 for a pair...Also proud off

wha? every auction I see on ebay for bike stuff is more than what a new one costs at a store... maybe im just unlucky.

I'm the high bidder on that though..

yeah this seems to be true... ebay can be the biggest rip off. I have to really watch hard for deals.

Ebay isn't the one ripping you off, the auctions only get above RRP because the bidders continue bidding coz they think: just another $20, just a bit more. If an item is above what you want to pay for it then don't. Everything i've wanted i've won from ebay, i just wait for the next load of stolen goods :D

o_O

is my item a rip off?

madman2k, i might make a bid on that camera. been looking at getting one of those for the longest time..

panpanx rest asured you found a good deal... you need not worry

whew okay. cuz you guys started talking about how ebay was a rip off and stuff, so i thought i was getting ripped off. :p

Ebay has some great deals on some stuff and really horrendous deals on some other stuff.. Just have to be a smart buyer. I was rather happy about finding that stem for $19 because it was in the color, size, and rise I wanted. I've found them online for $29 but that was in a 120mm 10deg rise, which I don't want. So to me, that was a great deal even though I didn't really save THAT much off what I could have gotten an equivalent product for. It was just the fact that it was exactly what I wanted.

...It'd actually be better if I didn't win it... saving up money and all... go for it :P

Pair of Magura HS33s, Hope C2, XTR rear mech, trials frame.
I recon Ebay is all good if you know what you're doing.

My best ever; '02 Bianchi Veloce road bike for my wife, shipped for approx $580 USD. Got it last Spring/Summer. It had never been ridden and was only put together for the pic in the auction.

practically my whole bike was bought off ebay...

- 2003 norco fluid 3.0 (brand new, complete).
- truvativ holzfeller 40mm oversized stem w/specialized big hit dh oversized bars (used but untouched).
- truvativ holzfeller double ring cranks w/rock guard & dh bb (new).
- truvativ xr single clamp seat post (new).
- pair of sun singletrack rims (silver) laced to xt disc hubs (silver) (new).
- hayes hfx-nine hd (8") brakes, front & rear (new).

other bike stuff bought off the net, but not through ebay:
- pair of silver singletrack rims (new). bought in case i wreck my other ones... silver singletracks are hard to find ::
- fi`zi:k nisene saddle & xt shifters (new, oem products - i ended up finding out they were the parts that were supposed to be for the balfa completes the year they decided to go frames only).
- xt rear derailluer (new).
- xt front derailluer (new).
- 2003 marzocchi z1 fr with 2004 stanchions & other parts (used but warrantied just prior to being bought by me. came with extra springs).
- truvativ holzfeller dh pedals (new).

all this stuff was bought cheap. everything cost me no more than $2500 CAD, give or take some.

got some fox gloves for 10 $, my eggbeater sl pedals for 90$ CAD, and my c-dale shoes for those pedals for 20$, they are like 2002's though....ebay has been good to me sofar, im looking to buy a new fork and new wheels in the spring so im looking there....however, i was looking at avid discs for my front brake, and they are way cheaper on pricepoint then on ebay...only 69$ or something for the front...

well i got every component on my bike except headset spacers off ebay :). Most recently, a shiny new SID. Now im looking for some nice XC rims though, doesnt seem to be too many

Yeah.... I haven't been able to find any really good wheels for a really good deal on ebay... I'll probably just end up having a set built. I already know what hubs & rims I want... I just don't have the money at the moment. :p
