Every one here remember when you go to ebay and you be lucky to find 200-300 items for our loved VX on ebay. well at least most the stuff there was for the VX, now i went to see what is on ebay for our loved VX's and WOW :eek: 15,155 results found for Vehicross, thats crazy, and the crappy part though is, half the stuff is crap.
Most of the Stuff on eBay is crap. I'd put the percentage of crap much higher than 50%. How many of the VX "parts" are snake oil or similar scams like electric turbochargers?
yeah you are right, lets put it in the 80-90% range.
That crap is annoying too. Makes it hard to find legit parts etc, for whatever vehicle you're searching for...
For a second there I thought that you meant Lisa (VXcrazy) was selling all of her spare parts on eBay.:laughing:
Everybody try this:
Check "Worldwide"
Check "Include Description"
Type "vehicross"
Search yields 16,876 results
Now type "vehicross -xenon"
Search yields 4,070 results
Now uncheck "Include Description"
Search yields 801 results
I blame all the damn xenon headlight guys.
Thats what I thought too when I first saw the thread.....LOLQuote:

What ebay sellers don't understand is that generalizing every single item for all brand & models of vehicules only plays against them.
How these sellers could expect that the same HID kit that fits a audi TT can also fit a ford focus when is for likely that the HID kit might not fit neither car.
That's why many times they end up shipping the wrong item to the buyer/highest bidder or they realized they don't have the item in stock and force you to wait weeks to get your package because they can't track every single order in a fashioned manner
The real goal is as you narrow your search looking for the item you are after for their listings pops up,that's the reason they post dozen of dozen of listings all over site.
Absolutely true Ashley, the headlight garbage is so voluminous! I've done many searches (for VX and other stuff too) where I exclude so many words, I actually run out of room. I'm generally "happy" if I can get it down to 200-300 items...Quote:

Another thing i can't stand is that if you want a used part, cuz they are cheaper, you have to look in the useless crap of unwanted stuff to get what you want, Kinda like a kid going in his toy box to find one toy, its annoying. :)
:laughing:Thats funny, didn't meant that but I see what ya guys mean, lol.Quote:

If you then go back and remove the "used" filter you'll get all of the OEM parts listed.Quote:

And here I was thinking something else.. :evil: :_huh:(only shifty eyes i could find)Quote:
