Default Lower Engine mount 99p incl postage !

I spotted this on ebay whilst looking for a hydromount, so I got my order in pdq even though I don't need one (touch wood). I was going to give a heads up to the forum, but in the meantime I got distracted and someone bought the rest of the stock. 99p including postage to the UK, but £1.58 postage to France.............I've been robbed :-)

It looks like a trader has bought them (ebay feedback score of 19481)

It's bound to be rubbish, or simply won't arrive, but fingers crossed.

Item location HONG KONG....so maybe not the best quality,But at that price you could afford to change them every month

I’m sure they will be advertised again soon - but at many times the original price.

Seems like a big risk to save a few quid.

99 pence a big risk. Don't step out of that comfort zone.

I was talking about the risk to your car fitting a part as integral as a lower engine mount that was put together so cheaply that it can be manufactured, supplied and delivered from asia for 99p.


But hey - at 99p it was still more expensive than your ''amusing'' dig

Someone can buy, test and can review the quality of part. Buy from someone else and it will also be made in Asia but you can pay a premium. Granted it may be chocolate hence a 99 pence gamble. Not a dig Sasha as you know the written word can be misinterpreted.

I predict lots of 'order cancelled' emails soon - it's very easy to accidentally c0ck up a lot of listings at once.
Don't ask me how I know...

They look the part, but I feel the price is a bit of an 'oops'!
