Ebay was a great site but recently, most people are selling close to retail or at retail so why bother? Do your research, know what you are paying for, and check Ebay for savings, if any. If you don't get any savings off Ebay, go with Dennis Kirk because you have a service and return network, at least.

Yeah, so you are buying from them via a different outlet but still from them in the end.

Would you buy off Dennis Kirk on Ebay or just go to Dennis Kirk directly? If I see that kind of listing, I would just buy from them directly because the prices won't be better on Ebay, that's for sure, unless you are hunting for Ebay bucks.

Personally, I have never purchased from them. I have bought many parts off of ebay. I even bought my sporty off of ebay. I have bought parts from HD dealers on ebay. The bottom line is: If the price is right and it is what you want, Buy it. Where ever you find it

I picked up a new low profile gel 2 up about four months ago for fifty bucks and it's worked out great. Always had good experience with ebay if you stick to domestic sellers. Overseas stuff can get complicated sometimes.
