This part is compatible with 93 vehicle(s).

1970 and older BMW's top the list of five pages...followed by Mercedes Benz and NSU. What a good deal!

What I mean is this is obviously a joke when E-bay used to be a very useful tool. Now it seems not nearly as useful!

........but shipping is only $35!
When you put in something like MG Midget,add quote marks,
like "MG Midget",& you'll eliminate most of those things,like
headlight replacements,etc,that "Fits Everything".

With over 25,000 eBay feedbacks and 99.7% of those feedbacks rated positive, I highly suspect this is either (1) a goofy looking mistake or (2) some sort of weird way to attract attention, e.g., to get us talking about it. I've done business with matthewsparts and have had nothing but pleasant experiences with him. With that many sales, I suspect many of the people here on BCF have had the same experinences.

I did take a minute and asked about the ad via the eBay auction page itself. The answer ought to be enlightening. Standing by for his answer...

Got a one word reply from matthewsparts within mere minutes of sending my question to matthewsparts via eBay's messaging system! Obviously matthewsparts monitors eBay pretty closely! The word? MISTAKE.

I don't know for certain but I expect the ad will be either deleted or corrected fairly quickly too.

Update: Already corrected to $49.99!

I got this e-mail from eBay in my feed:

SAVE 23,949.01 for a limited time
You viewed this at $23,999.00 It was just discounted to $49.99

Hurry up, that means it is going back up to $23,999.00 eventually.

Now, if I could only get that kind of discount on an MGA! :glee:

Wow! THAT is a serious drop in price (to $509). Maybe the chrome is rapidly peeling.
