I've seen absolute garbage posted that I would not haul out of a junkyard for free at exhoribitant prices on eBay, but I think I've found the winner here!!!

A USED (used) muffler for $200 buy it now + $50 shipping. What a deal!!!

I should have kept my old muffler, which was basically a can of iron oxide dust, and titled it as a "Special High-Performance, Low-Restriction" muffler. Could have paid for a new one!

Hmmm, I've got some used brake pads, wonder what I could get for them??
I'm tempted to do a search to see if someone actually posted pads but I'm afraid that someone has!

not to defend the guy, but that muffler looks pretty good, still has the black paint, that unit new is over $340.00 107-490-10-15

So did mine - I had no idea that the entire interior had turned to dust until It hit the garage floor after removing it. Other than shaking a muffler, I don't know of any way to test one. I actually had a muffler fixed once at a one-man welding shop, but this was only because the tailpipe rusted at the joint at the muffler, I knew that it was otherwise fundamentally good.

I suppose if I were really broke and desparate and/or wanting to get rid of a car, I would install a used one myself, but not for $250.00, when I can get a good brand spankin' new aftermarket one for under $175 shipped to my door.

I think the same guy IS selling "Hard to Find" used wiper blades with arms...

New Amazing Deals on eBay:

Used Cap and wires for 107 - ~$100

Used, Broken mirror (RH, electric), ~$100

Scratched-up trim for soft top lid (at least the guy was honest and took good pictures)- ~$150

Now, I am frugal, and I'm willing to work hard to restore parts to as good as new condition as possible, or even take a few bad parts together to make one good part, if I can get the parts at a great price. Recently, I've successfully disassembled, cleaned, needle-painted (!), and reassembled the temperature gauge in a 560, and I've never heard of this done before. But the above parts - NO amount of work will make them decent (or in some cases, even functional)! Maybe 1/10 of the dealer price MIGHT be reasonable.

At this point, I'm thinking of taking three months off, entirely disassmbling my car and selling it piece by piece on eBay. I figure I could easily retire early on what the parts might bring, and buy a few low-mileage 560sl's to boot for the garage at my new home in Florida.

I just have to point out this great deal on a used part on eBay: A "drier-evaporator" (I don't know of any such part, there is a receiver/drier, and then there is an evaporator, and there is no picture) for a swinging deal of $24.99+19.99 shipping.

If this is actually the receiver-drier, I think that this part ranks somewhere beneath used brake pads in terms of it's value as a used part!!!

Admittedly, MAYBE the switch(es) on it might be of some use if indeed they are included, but again, definitely not something that I'd care to buy used.

I've never installed a muffler or CAT -- not conversant enough with a cutting torch and welder yet.

I could see that item being attractive at around $75 to the right person. Here in Cal., used CAT sales are prohibited of course, probably nation wide on that one, but I guess there isn't a ban on used mufflers. Is that correct? I'm not certain.
