Outrageous prices for Fleabay stuff.

Yep, It's crazy.

This is a classic economic example of supply and demand. I think someone who wants to win a concourse event might go as high as $250 or more for the washer bottle. I've seen some crazy stuff happen on ebay and even crazier stuff on Barret Jackson!

You are correct Sir.

Yes Steve, Fleabay is total bullshit. I have been with them since day one. I hate the bastards along with their sister Paypal.

I wish someone would come up with a better alternative. These bastards are killing us and it is no longer worth it.

It is rare that I find a deal any longer. I have to resort to going to garage sales, estate sales and local craigslist or when I'm delivering to people I look around and ask if their shit is for sale....

Fleabay does suck the big one...

I tried using a business model based around them and their fees killed my margin. I had to do A LOT of volume to make it worth while. If you are selling high dollar items the fee percentage is not as bas as long as you avoid ripoff.pal.

You should additionally thank companies like Barrett Jackson and RM for their contributions to the old car business. It used to be fun

It's all across the board Joel.

Take a look at some of the prices for used items (mirrors for example) that people are asking in the Parts For Sale.

My parts cars could be worth more than my driver soon!

I don't sell much, but when I do it's a low price to another '02er, which appears to be a dying art unfortunately.

Hi Les,

Yes, I was just referring to that in a post above this. The used parts have sky rocketed also. It is almost like you have to buy a runner to use as a parts car to get the few major items you need now.

What part of the world are you in now?

Yea, my ethics will prevent me from getting rich.

I'm in India for a while now. Some "great" vehicles here.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
