A really helpful Ebay seller/used MB parts
Ok, I have not had a bad experience with ebay sellers or wrecking yards generally. But I have had a very good experience with houstoneuropean, which sells used MB (and other) parts on ebay. I bought a used oil cooler several months ago and it was OK. Then when I started preparing my car for painting, I removed the windshield washer nozzles. The seal under one of those was crystalized and broke into pieces when I removed it. So I went to Fast Lane to look. No seal listed. New nozzle for $41.00. So I inquired here if anyone had a spare. No response. I emailed houstoneuropean and the sales guy e-mailed his telephone #. I called John and he went out on the lot to look and when I called back later he said he had a nozzle. I asked how much $$ and he said he would just box up a nozzle and send it to me. I thanked him and said he could just put it in an envelope and mail it and he said he would.
Several days passed and no nozzle so I thought he had "forgotten" and I would have to call and remind him. Then yesterday a "priority mail" box arrived containing 2 washer nozzles in great shape, including the seals. Now that is good service!
