Avoid eBay. It is extremely rare to actually buy a new in box item that is any cheaper than one from a real store. The tool set is a little over $100 and you are assured of getting the right tools.

Ebay is a mixed blessing. After being outbid on many occasions I got my Hazet 3 wrench set for around $60 and that included the shipping. Used but in excellent condition. I also got a Timing Chain Crimping tool for $125. Thats the good.
Today I recieved 2 packages from 2 different Ebay Sellers. Both Sellers has 100% Feedback.
Rsults:
Seller #1- 261 Chevy cartridge type Oil Filter Housing- Parts are missing from the inside of the filter; the 2 discs that you need to seal the Filter Element.

Seller #2- Bought a Mercedes Volume #2 123 Chassise Manual (so far seems complete), 1985 Mercedes Maintenance Manual, Passenger Cars [this manual has a section of pages missing and this was not stated in the Sellers ad.] It also came with a sales Brochure and some cut out magazine articles and some parts list of Mercedes.

I only sent the Sellers messages a few minutes ago so I do not know what response I will get from them.

So sometimes you win on Ebay and some time you do not.
