im extremely confussed,

i know business and profit is a fact of life,

BUT

why is it people seem to be paying £15+P&P on eBay for the HRC brake hose reservoir?
now i was confussed why the seller had gone to the efforts to blank out the HONDA HRC part numbers, now i know why!

i paid £9 inc P&P on ebay and then found if you type the part numbers into David Silver Spares this is what you get!

lazy or unaware!?

i was unaware and got caught out thankfully i didnt pay £17 like some people do,

surely we should have things like this put into a guide etc ?

Don't hate Rick. It's called asymmetric information and it's great when you're the one in the know.

im certainly in the know now! im now a man of knowledge and wisdom,

having said that ive just ordered 2 HRC hoses from DSS for less that £2's

Ive just ordered 3!
I see them for a tenner on ebay & i thought, bollox to that but for £0.80p why the hell not.

Got 1 more.

The HRC rad overflow bottle / catch tank is £7.43 inc vat & del from DSS.
part no: 19602-nf4-810

They're £12+ on evil bay.

as soon as funds alloy i will be getting some.

Yes they are £8 to buy from your local supplier but, these guys obv buy them, make into kit, sell them on eBay, post them etc.

By the time you take in eBay fees, pay-pal fees, collecting from supplier i don't think its the end of the world really.

Im just glad we are all clued up in this forum

I think I have a spare one for you chris

thats what it is ebay fees for me mainly but you will find also that most of us dont get the same discount as DSS. I only get a 5% discount on retail so have to add my profit into it to make any money on them othewise its just not worth it. I would guess that most of the guys on ebay are the same. I retail them out at £14.50 deliverd on ebay but can do them at £11.50 on my site now (price to be changed). So its not always people trying to rip others off its just that we dont always get the discounts people think we do.
