I'm going to throw some honest comments into this.  I looked at the eBay 
store following the original posting here in the urs4 list.  My impressions 
were (1) I was impressed by the large number of parts available and the 
dismantling work, (2) I was impressed by the individual pictures, and (3) I 
was highly insulted by the listed prices.  There is obviously a lot of work 
that has gone into these listings.   I'm not going to do hours of research 
to prove the point, but I believe some of these parts could be had new from 
the dealer for less than the listed price + shipping.   In general, I go 
with used parts only if it's at least a 50% savings over new.  My bottom 
line impression was that this site wasn't even worth looking at.

With this current thread started I took another look.  I'm nowhere near 
being an eBay expert, but I'm no noobie either.  I've never dealt with "Buy 
It Now or Best Offer", and based on its name it sounds open-ended to me, and 
I'm not interested in that.  Looking deeper I see that there's a 48 hour 
response deadline for the offers.  So knowing this I might consider 
returning to the site if I have a future need, but the turn-off affect of 
the listed prices will make it my last choice.
