The stuff for oldtimers is a different story, but you won't find many in the yard. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with good used parts, but most sellers on fleabay are simply too greedy. It's cheaper for me to call Potomac and get good quality without all the bs if I need a used part. A fellow down the street bought an aftermarket new grill for his '77 300D on fleabay, and after six months it turned orange from rust. Not to mention the hole for the star was too small, and I had to spend twenty minutes with a half round file to make it fit.
I agree there is a lot of cr-p on ebay. Been there experienced it. I'm really no a CR_ppy person. Thanks for your input, it may help someon.
