I know lots of ebay users get bad press on here and rightly so. But for a change I like to say something nice about one ageofreezon
Found a set of Tektro purple brake levers for sale on US ebay, contacted seller asking for a shipping price to England, replied quickly with $10.40, thought cheap enough so placed my bid and won the levers for the starting price of 99 cents.
Received the invoice and paid thinking he would not bother and I would get the runaround, Instead levers turned up in less than a week. No customs charge, label on the box listed value as 99 cents and the stamps on the box came to exactly $10.40. So my levers cost me £5.70.
