I wonder how long it will be before someone actually bids for this before realising its a bolt found in the boot thats forsale :mad:

But after reading his feedback it does actually say that someone did bid for a rusty bolt not long ago :rolleyes:
 
No its just a way of advertising the parts that are for sale in the hope people will enquire.

Good ideal I would say.

Why would you break a perfect C36...unless it was stolen?

C180... why picture a LHD car if the one you're breaking is RHD? Why not picture the actual damaged car....unless it was stolen?

Maybe I'm being cynical but I would not buy used parts if I thought there was a chance they were from a stolen car. I'd hate to think that my car could be stolen, broken in some traveller's camp and the parts sold on e-bay.

You have to wonder about most of the later model cars advertised being broken up on ebay, other than the ones obviously being offered by genuine breakers yards...

I emailed a seller who has a C180 listed as breaking for spares.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MERCEDES-C180...601149003QQcategoryZ10398QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I asked him how much he wanted for the boot lamp
(I managed to break one of the lugs off mine trying to get it back into the side trim :o :( ).
He responded with a price of £12.50 including postage :eek: :crazy: . Needless to say I think the dealers would be cheaper!

Plenty of people don't realise how cheap some Mercedes parts are, especially compared with parts for Japanese cars and Jaguars or Audis...

I agree although I bet there is as much money in breaking one than selling when you look at the prices they are fetching.

The seller's a liar :o :D
 
strange,, nearly every ad on ebay for m.b.'s,, the advertiser's linguistic skill's leave a lot to be desired,, is this a cause and effect of m.b. ownership,,

i hoped nwt,, oh god,, it's started,!!
