Title: Is it me. or are there a ton of FJ part on E-bay right now?
Post by: higbonzo on October 15, 2009, 09:53:10 PM
Seriously.  There are usually about 220 to 260 item under my FJ1200 search, but lately it has been over 1000.  What in the world has changed?  I see alot of novelty items, and brakes, and rotors, and there are a few more parts bikes than usual, but did ebay have some kinda free insertion fee or something.  I mean really, where did all these items come from.   :unknown:

Later....  :bye2:

Funny, my eBay search for FJ stuff turns up about 3000 items (including Store inventory), and it's been pretty consistent since last spring.

Since last April or so they've been running a promotion that your first 5 listings per month are free of listing fees IF the item doesn't sell.

Maybe something has changed in my search criteria that I am not aware of.   

Anyways, there sure is a lot of FJ stuff on e-bay these days.

What are you typing in as the search criteria. I never get that many hits. :scratch_one-s_head:

I second what you said Fred. the most I get is 56 or so. So what is the proper search criteria to be able to get 3000 returns?

Search parameters are: (FJ1100, FJ1200, FJ) -FJ600

Include title and description; include store inventory.

"All Results" is a liar - look also at the "Auctions Only" tab and the "Buy It Now" tab on your search results.

If you search FJ1200 in all categories, and search all items you should get a return of over 1000 items.
