Ebay's gone wild

bobbydamit · February 2006

What the heck has gone wrong with E bay and the Hudson listings? There are about 1277 items and most are [buy it now] and they are on for like 110 days. It is just too painful to page through it. Maybe one or two cars on the whole list. I guess it has gone to the dogs or the dealers, having a run on parts for a set price now. No fun any more.

Studebaker listing have done the same thing! If you look most of the long term ones are at the very end.

They've done it on all categories. Now they automatically link to any item that fits the description in the EBay stores. I usually stop when I reach the "buy it now" tedium, ad infinitum.

There's an ebay store @ http://stores.ebay.com/1eZwire - has wiring info on many Hudsons 1915 up. When you get to the site, type Hudson in the search box to the left. That will save you wading thru everything else.

This is the fellow I bought the 1930-1939 Hudson Master Chassis Parts book on CD from.

Just a suggestion but if you go to E bay you have the option of sorting by Price..HIGHEST FIRST... Buy doing this you see most of the cars FIRST then items of a lesser value follow them..

It is crazy take a look at this ad. For $98 you get one door. Why not part the whole car out at once why say one door? Why not whole car for $200 and why only 2hrs to remove the part.

Lets see - for $98 you get one door, remove yourself. So that means if you're in, say Seattle, WA, and you are totally desperate for that door, you are going to fly to St. Louis, go remove the door, ship the door back to Seattle, then fly home!!!!!

I got a bridge over here for $50 - you come and get it. LOL

If you just want to see the cars and not all the other stuff, use the collector car index in this link:

I find Many Hudsons under Other Makes too and some times they are a misptint and just called hornet or pacemaker the bidding is usually much lower.
