I and a friend of mine have been getting some really good deals. I have also been finding a lot of "dream" parts at prices I can even bid on.

you won't find everything on Ebay, it is a good way to find sellers and ask them what else they have. Sometimes you can get deals, usually when auctions end at odd times or the photo is not very good.

The only time I find a good deal is if the seller screws up the auction title and maybe lists a part as say a Falcon part when in fact it works on a Mustang too.  Good example is some suspension parts. 

Prices are still strong for some things.  A used 3939S '65 hi-po fuel pump sold for $1600... pretty strong if you ask me!

Yes, I think that really rare/ hard to find parts are still getting top dollar as supply/demand dictates. The more common parts are best listed with a reserve or your low dollar to accept. I think the parts are doing better than the cars......I still find those parts not listed anyplace else. Just getting expensive to sell there.

The pricing policy changes frequently, they can't seem to be able to get it right. Just got another notice it was changing again.
