Has anyone else noticed the recent spate of very expensive Beta parts currently on eBay from a company called Firstline? Wheel bearings £ 357.00? I'll be having four of them then!!

Given their other items, I would have expected a more inline with market price, the actual company is

Mendip Enterprises Ltd trading as

Redline Car Parts
Unit 6a
Mendip Trading Estate
Rooksbridge
Somerset
BS26 2UG

Anyone has dealings with them?

I saw this too on my search for wheel bearing kits, they listed some reasonably priced and then that crazy amount for the same kit!
Incidentally, where are you guys sourcing wheel bearing kits from?

I've seen a number of parts on eBay like this recently ludicrously overpriced to the extent that no one is ever going to buy them.

No idea why they'd list them like that though - I thought the fees depended on the starting price.

I thought I was seeing things a few weeks ago when I saw a set of four brake disks for £727 on eBay.

I almost put my beer down. Shocked

I'm always surprised at the huge money being asked on there for parts offered in Italy.
Now I'd understand if it was the USA where Lancia stuff is rare but otherwise it makes no sense at all!
I sold a damaged/repaired spider tail light yesterday to a man in Italy and found it very amusing.
