Re: Misc NOS GM Parts Clips, Retainers, Rubbers, ETC.
This site may not be perfect...and what is?, but have you tried recently to find a part on Ebay? Seriously, if I just want to do a general search to see if any good used item or original part is offered for my Camaro I literally have to wade though thousands of useless items that get grouped in "fits 69 Camaro". everything from pink dice and chrome skull valve stem caps and repro stuff out the yang! If there is a "deal" on Ebay, it is like the proverbial needle in a haystack. I have better things to do with my time, thank you, than to spend all night, page after page. If it is a specific item, I may do a search. I used to use Ebay as a tool to set values and do research on my own parts...I think its out of hand now though as far as prices. Craigslist?! Most people there are only trying to beat me out of something (so they can re-sell it on Ebay for higher than top price) or they want a hundred pics sent with no intention of following through or showing up as promised. This site has two elements I value:1) Hobbyists who are knowledgeable, basically honest, reasonably priced on some items (you decide) and 2) Quality, desirable parts that the true hobbyists seeks for their top restoration that is in their means. I am not wealthy, but that does not mean I don't want things correct, authentic and done as well as possible. It just takes me longer and more creative in finding solutions to getting car done. Didn't mean to ramble, but I go here first for finding parts and selling too.
