Ok, this started as kind of a little bit of a joke. A couple of years back Sean bought a small and tasteful E46-style rear spoiler for his car off ebay for around $100. Well I decided that I'd check on one for my new-to-me M3. I start searching around Ebay and find one but it's only $5. Yep, five fricken dollars($4.99 actually). I thought that this price has got to be a joke or this was a fricken toy. Well it looked legit and the ad said all the right stuff as well as the seller had a good rating so I said what the heck and ordered it.
Here's the ad
Not surprisingly there was additional shipping/handling/insurance so here's the invoice:
The total is:
4.95 - Item Subtotal
+2.00 - Insurance
+12.95 - Shipping/Handling
+0.00 - Sales Tax
-----------
19.90 = Final Total
Yep, that was it. This sale took place on Monday night and it just arrived today. He shipped it USPS but the box is nice quailty and it came from City of Industry, CA so shipping/handling/box must have cost at least $10 I'm guessing.
Then I open the box and find this:
So not only did I get the spoiler I got a little flashlight keychain and a sticker! What a fricken deal!! Oh yea, I trial fitted the spoiler and it's a perfect fit. Next step is to get it painted and I should have it on the car in about a week.
So here's the question, how in the world is this guying making any money???
Fair gets yours on order for the silver car!!
