Not to sound like a jerk, BUT........ you got outbid on ebay big deal. Happens to people all the time. Did it ever occur to you that the guy that won it actually has a mustang?

AAAAAHHHHHHH stupid internet. I tried to bid at the last min but the internet locked up. I hate Iraq even more now, I cant wait to get home. That damn camaro guy won it. He probably doesn't even know what it is and just thought it looked cool.

haha did you seriously think you would get a cobra pump with billit gears for only $50...just the gears are $250...
try the MMR pump with the cryo gears if you don't want to spend $350 for a new one. The MMR pump is @200

RE: Ebay sucks
I knew I wasnt going to get it for 50 i was trying to put in my bid of $200 at the last min but im in Iraq and the internet took a crap at the wrong time. I probably would have gotten it. The guy who won got it for $123. I was just trying to get a good deal.

RE: Ebay sucks
$123 isn't bad...at that price i would have bought it just for the gears. You win some and lose some. Check out the Modular Mustang Racing high flow oil pump...its $200 new.

hey OXFORD never ever make a bid on an item you want that is an auction, because people on there do what they call shill bidding. they have a buddy of theirs bid against you so you will pay more. What I do everytime I buy is what they call snipe bidding, what you do is just watch the item and when there is 1 or 2 minutes left make a bid of the maximum amount you wish to pay. You don't have to pay that whole amount you bid, what the maximum bid is, is just the maximum amount you want to pay. and when someone bids against that E-bay automatically bids like a dollar more then the competitors bid until it reaches your maximum bid. But normally if you bid right at the end it will never reach your max bid because others dint have time to out bid you, unless they also had a maximum bid set that is higher then yours. sorry for all the reading it is hard to explain with text.
