What an eBay Moron!

So this guy decided to pay a total of $122.50 for the RB oil diffuser, USED!

As you can see from racing beat new its only a bloody $49.00.

The worst part is that more than one person was willing to pay more than it was actually worth.

Hmm. Seems that both auctions had metalll666 running up the bid. Seems very strange that both of these auctions by the same seller would have the same two people trying to out bid each other. I dunno. Maybe Willie has a thing for tlovergirl .

Anyway, this goes to show you that ebay does not always have the best price. You need to do a bit of research first and see what the items are actually worth and then bid accordingly. Don't get caught up in a bid war. There are plenty of places to buy these items (new, here on the forum, etc.). I guess this is one of those learning experiences. The money that you can save by doing a bit of research first will leave you with more money for other mods.

I thought they helped keep the oil in the pan from sloshing around durning hard corners and keep the pump from starving its self from oil?
