Default Picked up P06 for $20 + $8 shipped, wanna know how?

Well let u in on a little ebay seceret, PEOPLE ARE STUPID. Yep thats right PEOPLE ARE STUPID. If you spend a little extra time and make searching more difficult for yourself u can come out ahead. Some people dont do a search on similiar products before they post an ebay item. So you win, Ive gotten my Exedy $130 clutch kit for $25shipped since the dumb *** didnt list it well. Got my used distributor for my 98 civic for $25shipped since the guy didnt spell distribut-or(not -er) correctly. And just recently i did a search for "P06" and came up with a bunch of ecus with current bids of $60ish or higher. So i said lets use the fact that PEOPLE ARE STUPID and did a search for "civic computer" and "civic ecu" even try "honda computer" since most people are too lazy to look through all the items since they do a specific search like "P06" i came out ahead with a P06 for $20 + $8shipping and almost got another one for that price but guy out bidded me by $0.50 since i was at work and can ebay there. ---- for this price i can resell it on ebay and make double my money back with a proper listing. Also if u see something really cheap but the user is new with no feedback or low feedback, take a chance if its not too expensive if it falls through its just like gambling or playing the slots Again, PEOPLE ARE STUPID

Yeah, i always try to do this, but half the time, its stuff that people really want, so they do the same thing, or jsut browse through the whole catagory, and end up finding it, its when you find them in the totally wrong catagory and shitty description that makes them really stupid. I found a center tail light section for really cheap by doing that.

Err, reading this just caused me to go back to ebay and start looking for cheap ----, well, i found a deal myself.

This guy didnt realize what he really had, and didnt check the going price, and jsut listed what he wanted for it, buy it now, nad it had been on for only a couple of hours. brand new MSD BTM in box, goes for around 240 i think from summit new, just got it for 80 bucks shipped. No more detonation for me, woot!

A friend and I both had K03 turbos (too damn small) that were in way good shape. He tooka a couple pics and listed it, but somehow not in the right category. He still ended up getting about 70-80 bucks though.

I took lots of clear detailed pics, listed it in the right category and at sunday at 7:00 for a 7 day auction. I kid you not some canadian dumb *** paid $185 + shipping for it. Boy did he get raped!! (But it didn't hurt my feelings)

Also last minute/second bidding helps too since no one thinks anyone else is interested in the product being auctioned. ive won auctions in the last 10seconds for $1.00 or less over the next bidder
