I don't know about you, but I come to eBay to find a decent deal on a variety of things. Namely, motorcycle drag racing parts. Lately I've noticed alot of people, or so-called motorsports companys, selling major manufacturers parts at higher prices than the manufacturer itself. Parts from A.P.E., MSD, Pingle, Fast by Gast, MRE, and Dyna to name a few. I know that everyone needs to make a buck and I don't blame them for that. I'm just informing you, the budget racer,(or the full time sponsored racer) to take a look at the manufacturers web site before you bid on that next "great deal" or before you "Buy it Now" from someone that is more expensive and cannot possibly give you the back up or support that the actual builder and distributor of the part can. I have no ties with any companies, I'm just tired of seeing these folks make so much money off of unsuspecting racers. All of the companies named above will sell you their products direct and then help you with installation and any questions that arrive. Quite a few of them also support and set up booths at Prostar, NHRA, and other race circuits during the year. I have bought my best parts and gotten my best help and advice from some of them at these races. Most actually seem eager to help. so, in short, my point is this. Always take a minute and check before you bid or buy. It may save you a bundle and a headache in the long run. Let's keep eBay the way that it was meant to be; you and I selling and buying from each other and being left with the feeling that we came away with a pretty good deal.
