You selfish ****. As someone who genuinely would have benefited from that kit and would've fitted it to my car during the next week, my transaction failed at the payment stage because you mercilessly nabbed it to sell on ebay. I hope you sleep well knowing that your mindless profiteering has left a fellow HUKD'er out in the cold on a product they really could have used...

Had one of the parts come for my own car a MAF to be precise, The brand on the listing was 'Fuel Parts' but what I received was a Bosch brand was taken back a little by that. If I was to buy a Bosch MAF for my car from ECP for example I'd have to pay around £110... Got it from Amazon for £5. Crazy. Question: is this limited to car parts? I've not had a chance to look since in other categories?

at the weekend my wife had me packing unwanted clothes our 3 kids either didn't ever wear (new with tags) or did wear (VGC) - what a bloody waste of time & effort, I'd rather give it to the charity shops - which we do actually often do btw
1 x one of my wee £30 finds should get me £150+ profit after costs
ie several months' worth of me pleasing the wife with her ebay stuff

I think sometimes there's confusion here from both the people buying & selling. Sure - when it says (2), you know you're getting 2.
Otherwise? Might go either way. Seems like officialryanfox got 2 even though pair/ 2 was not specified.

17 Jul 16#277
Well I'll tell you what I just did for a laugh, you can have a go if you feel like it, you can't compete with me as all the items I bought are unique. I just bought 5 sets of brake calipers (left & right) for fairly current models of popular cars. About a tenner each so let's say £100 all in.
I reckon I can easily multiply the buying price by 7. They won't all sell. I just need to sell 2/10 to break even. Everything after that goes in the beer jar :smiley:
Give it a go, it needn't be brake calipers - there are plenty of decent alternatives...

Some truth in that. I did notice that for my vehicle there were for example cheap brake discs (all gone now) but some of the other stuff was similar to discounted prices on eBay or motor factors. You kind of need to know the usual price of the stuff you are buying. The radiators looked to be the best bargains as Nissens is a decent brand.
Not expired. Lots of clutches, starters, alternators for insane prices (around £10-£15). If you can't find anything for your car, please don't expire it! People need to know....I think it's one of the best deals ever....

I totally agree, basically if you know nothing about parts and cars and do not know what you are doing...don't do it - you will end up with fingers burned
and don't expect other members to spoonfeed you what parts to buy to make a profit
aurora
17 Jul 16#253
I don't think there will be a huge eBay market for much of the bigger stuff. You buy a radiator for a tenner, with free shipping. By the time you have added postage and stuck on your profit and eBay fees, you will still have to be selling it quite cheaply to tempt someone away from buying it from a specialist supplier with a guarantee and free shipping. Possibly better selling it to a trader at an auto jumble.
I can see why Amazon would leave the sector though. The search function cannot cope because the descriptions don't tell you what car the part is for and finding anything is a nightmare.
arotabi
17 Jul 16#252
At least try to get it right if you're trying to be clever...
Cola is the generic name similar to Petrol.
Coke is the brand name, kind of like V-Power or whatever it might be called.
Another thing, cola makers generally have their own factories and recipes whereas there are a limited number of refineries in the UK supplying all the forecourts.
Your order has now been cancelled. If you still want to purchase this item, please place a new order which will be charged at the correct price, when we dispatch it to you.

Yeah I figured that was the case. If they couldn't make car parts sales work then one cause (as amply demonstrated on this thread) might have been that people weren't able to find the bits they needed.

I tried above but I am not able to find any "Cheap" brake pads and break disk[/quote]I think the poster is saying that it's just as difficult for him to find the cheap parts for your car as it is for you. There's no quick way - you just have to use the search function then trawl through hundreds of items til you find one that fits your model.
I think the best deals have pretty much gone now, which will explain why you can't find anything, but it really is just about doing the leg work. [/quote]
Indeed. You can speed things up considerably by looking at a defined range eg £10-20 or £15-25 to find the remaining good stuff. Picked up 2 sets (ie 2 each) of brake discs for our Volvo last night that way, just over a tenner each.
Plus a nice little Volvo S40/ V40 gadget for another tenner that I can sell on Ebay for £60-70 to pay for my trouble :smiley:

Believe it or not this happens already, yet deals still get posted and a vast majority still benefit.
But let me explain it in a way my 7yr old will understand... :stuck_out_tongue:
Generally savings on deals are such that it's not economical to buy to sell on when you take into account costs of selling an item for the average Joe.
On deals where there's a huge saving such as this, people will buy to sell at profit. It would be ridiculous to expect those with the time and means not to.
What you can't do is to call someone names because you think they bought something you were entitled to!

The only problem with your theory is that, I was the one that bought the Jag clutch that got the hissy fit comment. Yes I bought it to make a few quid, along with a couple more items, I wasn't greedy I bought 14 items in total, 4 of which are to make money on, they are all big value items and so am hoping to pay for a holiday this year if they sell ok. All the other items are things we need or will need.
I could of quite easily have bought loads more to profit but instead I POSTED the deal to share the love!
I have no issue with people using this site to buy things to sell, yes other will lose out but hey fastest finger first, we've all gotta make a living and get money where we can, it's not breaking the law and I don't think it's immoral either.

Ach, trying to find some good stuff since I'm in need of money, quick. The radiators that the commenter linked earlier seem OK at about £9 to sell for £70 on eBay, but since they're heavy (about 5kg) wouldn't the shipping be pricey? Plus I'm not sure how well they sell in general.
And I tried looking for clutch kits in that same comment, a bunch of £8 ones but they all seem to be for models around the 90s, so I doubt they'll sell at all. Do they?
Does anyone have any other leads? My ass is becoming numb for sitting so long at this.
And to think I saw this deal at 7am today, but figured there'd still be loads left :neutral_face:

We can all do that: use HUK to buy up all the good stuff and sell it on. But that would result in fewer people posting good deals because they know all the opportunists would buy everything, making the website pointless. Then everyone misses out on good deals they wouldn't have otherwise known about. Even your 7 year old could work that out.

And yet the leading Audi tuner in the country recommends Tesco Momentum fuel over all others - frequently seen on 1000+bhp cars, my own 730hp car, my old 450hp car, etc etc etc. Them having done back to back testing of fuel from tesco along side other brands shows how little you actually know. :/
It's not scrimping - you're implying that supermarket fuel is somehow inferior. Please prove it with fact, not speculation. Until then, I'm taking the word of the established tuners - not someone with a mid-range BMW and a single experience.

Injector from memory
My original point on supermarket petrol wasn't based on momentum - I'd have no problem using that other than the ethanol content which isn't good for the HPFP on my car.
I just get wound up by people who buy expensive cars then scrimp on maintenance and upkeep - someone said to me once "I'm thinking of getting one of those, what MPG do you get?" If that's your first question, get another car

[quoteI ordered the 12 x 1 litre 20 50 Oil last week when the deal was put on here first time around. I only received 1 ltr bottle, queried it with Amazon CS and they reordered and guess what arrived yesterday, 1 ltr bottle of oil. Also ordered last week a set of car mats for £4-95 and they sent Ford instead of Vauxhall. I think the SKU/ EAN numbers are dodgy, you may get what is described. There was a Lamda Sensor for a Land Rover for £4-95 and the description was for Dog Collar. You might get a surprise package turn up!!][/quote]

You've got a Porsche and are willing to put a £20 clutch in it? I'm guessing you use supermarket fuel too?
you_gotta_be_kidding to jimpom23
16 Jul 16#91
I think you've missed the point, the same clutch is being sold by other sellers for £867!
I've been using supermarket fuel since around 1990 and not had any fuel related problems that I'm aware of. It all comes from the same refinery and is produced to the relevant British Standards.
By all means, complain all you like, on a deals site, that tries to help you find bargains...which cost you less money.

But its not a £20 clutch, its £100's from other places.
If you went to your dealer for your car, they told you a new clutch is usually £500 but they have a massive sale on today and its only £20, would you say no, please charge me £500 for the same part because you don't want to only spend £20?
umirza85 to jimpom23

The tesco by my house is one of the only places to get 99RON fuel, the shell is a bit far. Nothing wrong with supermarket fuel. My turn to guess, you have a white BMW 3 series that you stuck an M badge on and will only use 98+ fuel on it?
Biggunspaul
16 Jul 16#110
I've been running performance cars for years,all of them over 400bhp and I have NEVER had any engine issues at all and all have been run on tesco momentum/tesco 99 since the day it came out.I have also never met anyone with a performance car who has had issues with the fuel.
Let's be honest even if there were a fraction more engine wear from supermarket fuels,most people who can afford a decent performance car aren't going to be bothered that in 200k miles there might be a little more wear on the engine,it will have been sold on long before that mileage would come around.
derp1664
16 Jul 163#109
Isn't the point actually that supermarket fuel DOESN'T contain as many additives? (ie. it's cheaper for the supermarkets to buy without the additives)
Also, the whole supermarket fuel thing is just a theory as there's plenty of compelling evidence that the fuel is exactly the same.

Supermarket fuel is full of additives and sticking it into a high performance engine is a bad idea, [email protected] cars not so much - but hey, if you're happy buying cheapo unknown timing belts or brakes go for it, I just hope I'm not on the road behind you when they fail. With parts, you get the quality/longevity you pay for

I hope you sleep well knowing that your mindless profiteering has left a fellow HUKD'er out in the cold on a product they really could have used...

Hmm.. ok a clutch is quite good, but not heard of the brand before. i dont want to spend £200 labour to get a £6 for it to go in 6 months...
Other bits which are none essential are not cheap (like oil filters, air filters etc etc.)
Edit, this is quite annoying actually, i really dont fancy fitting brake parts which are off brand, nor clutch, nor water pumps etc etc...

The majority of the cheap clutches are LUK which is what andrew pages supply to the entire UK
Opening post
However having searched further I have found Clutches, Water Pumps, Radiators etc etc are all crazy money...
I've got a clutch for a Porsche 911 for £21 which sells for over £1000!!!!

shame people get stuck at 'car parts' lol
at the weekend my wife had me packing unwanted clothes our 3 kids either didn't ever wear (new with tags) or did wear (VGC) - what a bloody waste of time & effort, I'd rather give it to the charity shops - which we do actually often do btw
1 x one of my wee £30 finds should get me £150+ profit after costs
ie several months' worth of me pleasing the wife with her ebay stuff
They're honest & friendly :smiley:
still lots of bargains out there
I don't think many HUKDers saw there's money to be had or could navigate the bargains to pick up parts for their cars
they probably never buy car parts, just trust it to Halfords lol
Otherwise? Might go either way. Seems like officialryanfox got 2 even though pair/ 2 was not specified.
my discs arrived already, just 1 set (of 2 discs)
Water pump from £169 down to £6
Ignition coil down from £89 to £6
Ordered randomly to sell:
A couple of clutch kits and a starter motor.
Cheers OP lol :smiley:
But I did manage to pick up an expensive part for my own car for a fiver and that will be all for me, thanks OP.
Did grab quite a few bargains myself that should be easy to turn around :smiley:

No that is my point, different fuels have different energy values and supermarket fuel such as asda is low on those values as the additives are cheaper. But people will believe whatever.
but I guess I'm going to get used to the description 'tatty box' for my Ebay stuff :smiley:
this looks like it's been on the shelf 10 years, perfect inside, though lol
Just use your loaf & work out how to filter results.
This time I've gone up a notch - both items £40 but should be able to get £150 each
ker-ching! ---> beer jar :smiley:
If you cannot afford a full price clutch then perhaps you should not have bought a Jag!!!!
I reckon I can easily multiply the buying price by 7. They won't all sell. I just need to sell 2/10 to break even. Everything after that goes in the beer jar :smiley:
Give it a go, it needn't be brake calipers - there are plenty of decent alternatives...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/?node=301309031&pct-off=85-99
and don't expect other members to spoonfeed you what parts to buy to make a profit
I can see why Amazon would leave the sector though. The search function cannot cope because the descriptions don't tell you what car the part is for and finding anything is a nightmare.
Cola is the generic name similar to Petrol.
Coke is the brand name, kind of like V-Power or whatever it might be called.
Another thing, cola makers generally have their own factories and recipes whereas there are a limited number of refineries in the UK supplying all the forecourts.

I tried above but I am not able to find any "Cheap" brake pads and break disk[/quote]I think the poster is saying that it's just as difficult for him to find the cheap parts for your car as it is for you. There's no quick way - you just have to use the search function then trawl through hundreds of items til you find one that fits your model.
I think the best deals have pretty much gone now, which will explain why you can't find anything, but it really is just about doing the leg work. [/quote]
Indeed. You can speed things up considerably by looking at a defined range eg £10-20 or £15-25 to find the remaining good stuff. Picked up 2 sets (ie 2 each) of brake discs for our Volvo last night that way, just over a tenner each.
Plus a nice little Volvo S40/ V40 gadget for another tenner that I can sell on Ebay for £60-70 to pay for my trouble :smiley:

One clutch component got bought out under me during checkout, had to get the next up up for a few quid more!
Thanks in advance

Too bone idle to press the buy button?
Luckily I got lots of bits I needed from the original post a few weeks ago :smile:
:laughing:
It is a Peugeot RCZ 1.6 Petrol
Believe it or not this happens already, yet deals still get posted and a vast majority still benefit.
But let me explain it in a way my 7yr old will understand... :stuck_out_tongue:
Generally savings on deals are such that it's not economical to buy to sell on when you take into account costs of selling an item for the average Joe.
On deals where there's a huge saving such as this, people will buy to sell at profit. It would be ridiculous to expect those with the time and means not to.
What you can't do is to call someone names because you think they bought something you were entitled to!
I could of quite easily have bought loads more to profit but instead I POSTED the deal to share the love!
I have no issue with people using this site to buy things to sell, yes other will lose out but hey fastest finger first, we've all gotta make a living and get money where we can, it's not breaking the law and I don't think it's immoral either.
I say rock on and fill ya boots!
And I tried looking for clutch kits in that same comment, a bunch of £8 ones but they all seem to be for models around the 90s, so I doubt they'll sell at all. Do they?
Does anyone have any other leads? My ass is becoming numb for sitting so long at this.
And to think I saw this deal at 7am today, but figured there'd still be loads left :neutral_face:
Focus ST and a few others like Mazda MPS. (Same model number as Brembo P24057 if that helps)
Thanks
paid about £40 for £400 worth on Ebay lol
Just managed to get a ATE ABS/DSC sensor for £8 :laughing:
Price now gone up to £98.83 for the same item
Cheers op :wink:
It's not scrimping - you're implying that supermarket fuel is somehow inferior. Please prove it with fact, not speculation. Until then, I'm taking the word of the established tuners - not someone with a mid-range BMW and a single experience.
Blue Print ADN130191 Clutch Kit - 3 Pieces
This will go towards a new car.
Slim pickings on the Mazda (not old enough to have many parts available) but got some front pads for £4.
Cheers op. :smiley:
thanks op
front and rear discs, rear pads for my hyundai , under £20 the lot, have save well over 1k from all the parts that I got
Personally I wouldn't put any of that lot showing up cheap near my Turbo but there are a couple of bits for the wifes motor that will come in handy, Cheers OP.
why should one not get a decent car (perhaps not new) then aim to maintain it on a budget?
My original point on supermarket petrol wasn't based on momentum - I'd have no problem using that other than the ethanol content which isn't good for the HPFP on my car.
I just get wound up by people who buy expensive cars then scrimp on maintenance and upkeep - someone said to me once "I'm thinking of getting one of those, what MPG do you get?" If that's your first question, get another car
Just ordered an air con condenser for £19.60 instead of over £125.
Very pleased.
Oh and I do need this for MY car.
and forgot to say, Thanks OP!!!
Have you ever actually tried tesco momentum ?
If you are capable of driving a car then you should be more than capable of using a search function.

Can you post a link for the oil deal as I can not find it.
Thanks
I was forced to use supermarket fuel (97 RON) in my S2000 once and it threw an engine light within about 20 miles
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AJY7JKG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
By all means, complain all you like, on a deals site, that tries to help you find bargains...which cost you less money.
If you went to your dealer for your car, they told you a new clutch is usually £500 but they have a massive sale on today and its only £20, would you say no, please charge me £500 for the same part because you don't want to only spend £20?
Let's be honest even if there were a fraction more engine wear from supermarket fuels,most people who can afford a decent performance car aren't going to be bothered that in 200k miles there might be a little more wear on the engine,it will have been sold on long before that mileage would come around.
Also, the whole supermarket fuel thing is just a theory as there's plenty of compelling evidence that the fuel is exactly the same.
p.s what do you think shops/Amazon do? Go and have your rant with them daily!
just bought some disc brake sets & some bits & pieces for our old Volvo

They are 3 pairs...6 in total
Not much for my Cooper S (Countryman though) either! Spotted those disks which I might try.

to those talking about the 911 it's my dad's, it's 8 years old and has been sat for six months because he can't afford to get the clutch done. no ebaying on that part. (I will admit to buying 5 high value things to sell on though, I'll sleep just fine tonight). :wink:
Thanks OP.
Most just want to see if they can source a part for their own cars rather than profit from it.
Good luck to him.
