#$@%in' Chevy and Damn I love eBay!

Post by KrAzYdAvE »

As some of you may know I've been in need of replacing the dead fuel pump on my truck, so last week I dropped the tank, pulled it out and literally spent the entire weekend at parts stores receiving wrong parts.

The problem - the Chevy dealer wants $525 for the damn fuel pump!
The cheapest I could find one at any auto parts store was $300-$475, which all ended up being the wrong part. Of course it took me buying about 6 of them to find that out!
So - prepared to get anal probed with no lube, I called the dealer and asked them to order it.
In the meantime, I found the same part number that the dealers were giving me on eBay for $160 + $15 s\h, ordered that, and cancelled the one at the dealership.

6 days later after being in Vegas for the unfortunate funeral of my wife's grandfather, I received the pump from eBay yesterday, which just happens to be the exact part I need at a 3rd the price!
Thank you eBay!

The past 2 months have been nothing but hell for me - ever since that car accident, which I am STILL waiting to be paid off for! Now 2 months later!

sorry to hear about your misfortunes. At least you had a small glimmer of something positive come out of it. you're lucky to find a deal on ebay, most stuff I have tried to buy there ends up bidding past the retail cost of items.

I got a good deal on a power window regulator.


Dealership wanted $350, got on on EBAY for 160.

Where do you get Auction Sentry?

You got that right - idiots who buy USED bike frames for MORE THAN RETAIL for a new one!

Sheesh.

I manually snipe. [eg]

will the keygen work again?

nevermind, I guess there's only one way to findout in the next 8 hours... hehe

edit- hrm, nope. Bastard software maker trying to keep me from stealing it!!

side note: congress or someone passed some law so we can't gring back any pirated software/music/movies or cubans (of course) but they also added sunglasses, jewelery, and clothing! WTF over?? I hate our stupid lawmakers and their stupid laws!

(legal: opinion subject to change if I ever am in the business of making any of the above.)
