'Fess up -- who bought the Ebay strut tops ??

Post by onthecut » Sat Apr 18, 2009 5:38 pm

Hi Guys.

Pure curiosity --- was it one of us who had the relatively new 2.5 strut tops off Ebay the other day ? I think it's the first time I've ever seen any XM item make a half decent price.

Mike.

Hi Ciaran.

Think it was £218.00.

Hi All

I watched them, thought about a bid, set a limit of 57.75 the pair, went way passed that price long before my 5 seconds to finish bid would have gone in. Low price was because I did not think they had been too well treated since removal. Visible red rust where the sphere seats so a real pain to clean up properly the inside where the strut rod fits with its oilways. Did look to see who won before I wiped the item from the watch list but did not recognise them as one of the regular XM bidders. I just settled for buying the other set that finished about the same time but got no bids on ebay.
