Pretty funny, weird & sad story about intake manifold on ebay & now also heater box

[Wladek]

Last week i saw same item, with just different photos, from another ebay member from Germany - for around 50 EUR
https://www.ebay.de/itm/BMW-E3-E9-C...h=item4b5367335f:g:iHMAAOSwaiBb1Xsy:rk:4:pf:0

The other thing is that this is actually not proper E9 CSI/CSL D-jet manifold, just later E3/E12/E24 L-Jet

two weeks ago that exact item was sold by another ebay member for ca. 200 eur.

You should report him to ebay for fraud or deceptive selling

I don't care about the seller, in my opinion, he is just extremely greedy.
So wanted to highlight the matter to potential buyers, members of our community.

eBay tries to keep people like this from using their site. If you don't report him he just keeps ripping people off.

I didn't kept links from previous auctions, i thought it was a single case;
I was considering buying a heater box for my car, that's why i paid attention to it. Heater disappeared shortly after the start of the auction (without offers), i assume it was sold outside ebay platform. Start price was 200 eur, buy it now was 300 eur.

Seems to me it is an auction. At an auction, you don't bid if the price is too high. Even if it was a 'store purchase', again - you don't buy if the price is too high. Just my opinion.
