I needed a replacement wheel for the MX5 (some arsehole drove into it), a single new OEM replacement is £180 plus postage, they can whistle for that.
I found a matching set on eBay for £179.99, seem to be in reasonably good nick (and I only need the best one anyway, the rest are for spare/for stacking in the shed to irritate Her Indoors).
I put in a cheeky bid of £80 (they normally go for £80 - £130), the seller countered with £110 and I accepted.
What a rush! I could get addicted to this.

Used to be good, but full of chancers and fraudsters nowadays. Still use it occasionally.
RT, that's as remains to be seen...
Cooo. I hadn't marked you down as an ebay virgin. I have bought off it for years (alloy wheels too) and i am about to start selling on it.
L, I've been buying stuff on eBay and Amazon for a couple of years, but this was the first time I took part in an auction.
Bought me a wheel for a Focus after taking a chunk off against a large rock at the side of the road. Had been a spare so was in perfect condition. About 15% of the costs of a new one (even with shipping).
M well done. Do Focuses have a full size spare wheel?
