[Roadsters] ebay item #200330704095

[Lee Ehinger]

If you have the part number, Courtesy Nissan http://www.courtesyparts.com/
will take the time to see if it is available and does give internet
discounts.  I am amazed at the amount of parts still available from Nissan
for my 1970 240Z...  roadster parts are getting thin...

 Even within the Roadster community there are still many instances of people
not knowing about the other list, the Parts Interchange section on 311 site,
how to use the search feature here and on the other list, etc etc. Meaning
that if you don't work for your discount you might not get it! I think this
is why they said in school that reading was important......

I apologize if I offended anyone by my comment. I've probably become a
little too narrow in my fondness for these cars and the roadster community,
which has gained a well-deserved reputation for being polite, helpful and
responsive.

Going to eBay first is probably the natural inclination for people who
aren't aware of the community, or who may have no real interest in joining
it. Still, it seems odd that people wouldn't do a little bit more thorough
searching, considering how easy it is. I've encountered plenty of people who
have contacted me through my Web site asking about parts availability, who
haven't even taken the time to look at my Vendors page.

I know there are a lot of legitimate, honest people selling things on eBay,
and an auction format has its uses. But it is also an opportunity for
unscrupulous people to scam the unknowing or inexperienced.

Like they say, "Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of experience
comes from bad judgment."

I can offer myself as proof of that.
