The reason car audio is cheap is because 9/10 times, you don't get a warrenty, which is VERY important. Even if they say it comes with a warrenty, 9/10 times its bull ----

I sold a RHB5 on ebay for like $215... I had bought it a year ago for like $75

It's all in the wording. Words like "rare" "JDM" and "Fast and Furious" instantly raise the value of any car part you're selling....

ooh, and if anything that's "JDM Type-R" is better too..

so if you have an RHB5, it would be a "RARE FAST AND FURIOUS JDM Type-R IHI RHB5 Turbo"

and you'd get like $1000's

Re:What's up with eBay?

I sell a lot of "junk" on eBay. The junkier and more flea-market the better. New stuff, namely electronics, tends to sell for at or below wholesale. So it is a good place to buy electronics.

So really what you are paying for is the "instant gratification" of not having to go to the junk yard or swap meet every other day to find what you are looking for. Just type it into the search engine and voila. Saves lots of time, and time=money.
