Is eBay a good source?
Is eBay a good source for buying Bronco II's on whole or part?
I have had good luck with eBay for Hunting & Model Train stuff, but very bad luck when it comes to computers and household electronics.
What are some of your experiences with this?

im not very fond of it ive had a 50 50 experience. bought a car and knew the tranny was bad from the listing. brought it home put in remained tranny. went to drive it and all was good there but it had a short in one of the computer control plugs that showed up after the car warmed up. but still drove it that way for about 6 months till i hit a deer. then bought a 2 for 1 deal on some bronco II's. well they were rusted really worse then the discription and the pics. looked like the pics must of been taken years before the sale. 1 was suposed to have a rebuilt motor (30,000 miles) and it ticks worsr then the 1 i have with 300,000 + miles 2 blowen tranny lines role pin in distributer broke on the way home. $175 tow bill to get it the rest of the way home cause triple a unlimted plan only takes you 100 miles. the other bronco they said was for parts and was the better of the 2. it made a 500 mile trip with no problems. theres still other problems with the suposed good 1 ive not said yet but i dont fell like writing a novel. it boils down to this if you want it go inspect it yourself, they told me what i wanted to hear when i told them that the 1 with an auto was the 1 i was hopeing was the good 1.

I've had excellent luck on Ebay. I even bought a transfer case for my Bronco II for the unbelievable price of 99 cents( cost me 50 bucks to have it shipped from Ca though) but it's still working great a year and a half later. But, like anywhere, you have to be cautious when buying used parts.

Ebay purchases
I have purchased several items from sellers on ebay. Very satisfied with all sellers and parts. Although a word of caution is in order, rememeber you are buying sight unseen mechandise - read buyer beware.

I have been on both sides of the coin, selling and buying. Sometimes, there is just no pleasing a customer. I had 1 that expected a perfect, brand new OEM part, even tho the add stricly stated used, with scratches. On the buying end of things, I have been fairly happy with all purchases. I have purchased a couple of vehicles. Just have to make sure that they are a good enough deal ahead of time, and ask lots of questions. Make sure that the person selling has good feedback and all should be well.
