Default how the hell can they charge this much

looking thru ebay on my usual searchs and i come along this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=190569098017

omg!! how can they charge more than 3x the price it is direct from subaru?!?!?

Do people realllllllly pay this kind of price? i dont see how they can get away with it.

Felt like a rant

Not everyone bothers with forums so therefore has no clue about parts prices. If I wasn`t a member here I`d have probably paid the £850 Subaru want for an alternator! Well, maybe I wouldn`t be that daft

dosey **** whoever advertised that, first off its an air flow meter then in the description its a knock sensor, wants to make his mind up. those from subaru are about £90 if your lucky. the earlier classics with the housing were around the £300 IIRC
