BEWARE OF eBay SCAMS

I was looking at some forums on Focus Fanatic, and I ran across this. It is pretty interesting if you read the whole thing.

Not to be a dick, but, if your like me, your a car guy that knows how motors work and you snicker when you see posts like this...or posts that inquire about these ebay performance mods.

There are good deals to be had out there, you have to know what your after and not want an alternative ;)

Yeah, I totally agree that if you do your homework on eBay, you can save a lot. Just be carful and you won't get screwed.
