Lets start a thread about the stuff you get from Ebay, clothing, parts, bike etc.
What to look out for, recommendation, pitfalls, tell it like it is.
There are plenty of shops trading there now, so you will still be supporting some of the more well known mail order companies.
Even LBS's are on there now.
Lets start you off:
I have bought some Raptor shorts from this seller: Ebay , they were my first padded shorts so I had nothing to compare against, but was very happy with them anyway. When some of the stitching started to fail he took them back and sorted an immediate replacement. Now having bought some bibshorts from Wiggle, I can say for sure that quality and comfort wise they are about 80% as good as the Wiggle own brand but significantly cheaper.
Bought Airzound from SJS Cycles on Ebay, came in 3 days
Bought 2 wheels bags from my local LBS trading on there: Ebay then went and picked them up.
Bought Crud Roadracers from Absolutecycles Ebay, cheapest around.
Got a lovely Airborne Blackbird Ebay
