For those looking for deals on eBay there are sellers who list their items in the format of "Buy It Now" with a "Make Offer" option opposed to the traditional auction.
I have had pretty good luck with the "Make Offer" option. I picked up a nice vintage and "working" tachometer with a Stewart Warner cup holder for $125 which was listed as Buy It Now" for $250 and had the "Make Offer" option. Most recently I purchased some 65 Mustang fold down seat trim for $100 and the seller was asking $169.00. I know the aftermarket trim is going for $250+.
When buying items from eBay, I always make sure the seller 100% positive feedback. This gives me a piece a mind the seller is at least "trustworthy" yet I am still optimistically pessimistic until the item arrives and I inspect. Also ask questions...this way the seller can't say you didn't inquire. Always look for sellers who have a return policy. If they offering a return policy chances are you won't be returning the item.
Here is a picture of the trim I picked up this week. It took a little elbow grease to clean up and is driver quality but well worth the price.
