£50each?!! HFM?? Don't bother with Ford. Get them from here.

Superb service and quality, and very helpful & knowledgeable staff too..

Sorry sorry, that was £50 for a pair from eurocarparts. But if they're just
random aftermarket ones, then I'd rather not take the risk.

They're perfectly OK. Don't go for the cheapest but go for the next
price up.

Given the postage cost from a random fleaBayer for something of that
weight, I'd be surprised if they'd be cheaper than a local factor.

There probably about par for the price just wondering more about quality

I bought some discs for my Rover 620 off Fleabay once. 6 months later,
I bought another pair from local shop after one of the fleabay ones
cracked.

Looks at large pile of electrical items & is amazed at the effort
somebody
has put into faking them.

If it's a microwave, it's unlikely to go wrong. But then again, who buys
microwaves off ebay? Hmmmm. If you've purchased a mobile phone, then
there's
a high chance it's nicked or blocked (eventually), along with many other
items being 'dodgy'.

Ebay isn't all it's cracked up to be. Doubt you'll be purchasing any 4GB
sony memory cards anytime soon then?



Nope, got one already:-) The Anritsu data analyser & the tti smpsu seem
kosher:-)

If you're very careful (not just careful!) then items are usually fine.
However, as it's too easy for joe-public to logon, sign up, and sell some
random crap online, I try to avoid it where possible.

If you're after some specialist electrical item, then I dare say it's 99% a
good experience. But general high street electrical items, mainly small and
expensive, well I'd avoid ebay for that.

Amusingly they're normally cheaper elsewhere to boot.
