Hey if ya got, don't need, why not sell it. No telling what those crazy Porsche guys will bid it up to.

But is the left nut? I hear those are valuable.

Sheesh, there are 9 auctions for 928 lug nuts and 5 dealers, and they are selling for real money, enough for lunch at Denny's anyway.

Those will be gone in the morning, listing violations, they are selling cars in a lugnut category to avoid fees.

good laughs.
I hate ebay.

yeah i think this guy and otehrs list a single lug nut but in the ad says to call for other parts you need. Basically an advertising tool to get people to call to price out other stuff they may have without having to individually lit each item and pay what is becoming pretty heavy fees for Ebay parts.

Ebay gets you on everything, insertion fee, reserve fee, picture fee, buy it now fee, final value fee, paypal payment fee! It comes to like 15% now

I think cars though are just $40 to list then as soon as it gets a bid its another $40, and no other percentage fees after. But i could be wrong, considering they get 15% on parts its hard to imagine someone could sell a $100,000 car and only be billed $80 as a flat fee. I think i am missing something on the car sales part.

A live auction often wants 20% from the seller and 10% from the buyer for each item sold, and may also charge separately for cataloging and other expenses. A few of the outfits are well worth it, if you need a LOT of stuff moved fast.

I just wish I had been smart enough or in the right place enough to dip my beak in the ebay profit pool.

That seemed like a good way to part a car out in an Ebay listing. I bought a trim piece from them after seeing the lugnut ad and everything went well. It never did occur that the listing was in the lugnut section to avoid Ebay fees, how should they have done it?

We all are playing a game. The rules are laid out. If you can get around the rule via loop holes, you are playing the game. Politics, relationships, work, the sucessfull ones use the rules to their advantage.

Common ebay practice guys. There is nothing really wrong with it.

The seller sells the nut, and get advertisement that there is a whole car available for parts.

Cheap advertising.

Free advertising...Those guys at Ok foreign have lots of wrecked Sharks. Another place to call for parts

I think there is a very good chance in couple days all those ads may be gone, and/or the seller will be NARU (not a registered user). You can't advertise a vehicle outside the vehicle section, you can't use a listing for advertising outside links and sales.

They must have never bothered to read the listing rules.

the lug nut fella's have had their ads up over 2 weeks!
