So a little background, I bought most of my stuff on eBAY and Craigslist over the years but it seems that eBAY is now a parts distributor (buy it now) rather than an auction place. I also see the trend over the past few years where the availability and quantity of parts on ebay are diminishing. they cant all be bought up and hoarded??? I expect prices to keep climbing as well but some of the items are just plain ridiculous! so I was wondering if there was a new place where these items have gone to? anyone have any recommendations on places or how to search better? the parts and machines can be getting that rare that quickly so I am thinking people have just gravitated towards other websites or avenues to sell/buy. even with craigslists - I found that you have to manually look at each different locations (state, city, area etc) cause a general search doesnt return anything. maybe I am wrong or getting old and in the way..... I have even just searched google and yahoo looking for items but it seems they all lead back to the same storefronts that are on eBAY or business websites. just wondering.......
