I'n not trying to ruin anything for this guy but this ebay oil cooler has shot through the roof. Isnt its the same one that Karcraft quote for $150? Even with the extra hoses it just appears crazy.

Yep, standard 13 row S cooler.
Karcraft are pretty cheap compared to the other Mini spare parts places here (many of whom just resell their stock).
I bought one in from MiniSpares years ago, for 1/2 Karcrafts's price, and made my own hoses up with Pirtek barb fittings and push-on hose... :wink:

Yes Drmini they where damn cheap, thanks for the tip (on the clutch slave cylinder). Excellent service, packaged really well.

Nice guys.

everytime i look at that karcraft catalogue my bank balance takes a fall :) Dr Mini put me onto them ages ago over on the miniportal board :)

If only i lived closer, I could fill up the ute with parts..

to keep this on topic, there is 12 hours left on the auction and its going for $305, maybe we should start selling these on ebay and using the profits to support ausmini :lol: j/k

But by looking at the bidding pattern I'd say he's using a dummy bidder. Coz there is one newly registered memeber with zero feedback who everytime anyone else bids makes a series of small bids as if to probe the other's maximum bid level.

That auction has finished and I am also amazed at the sale price. :shock:

I agree with the last comment re: dummy bidder. I have heard stories around the traps about dodgy ebay sellers and fake bidders.

For a split second I thought about buying these items cheap and selling for a profit on ebay....then I remembered I am honest... :wink:
