Buying car parts
How do people find good deals on cameras?
Nice car for only $1,000?
Does the "$1000, runs and drives" car still exist in this market?
Has anybody ever boughten car parts from ebay? Im new to cars and trying go find a new bumper and it was like $120 it just seemed super cheap and idk if its legit. I mean it has decent return policies and stuff i just dont know the a average pricing amount. I need bumper, wheel well liners, and splash guard and my cart is like $500? Does that seem right? Idk 😭😭
As a lurker on this subreddit and a fellow sufferer of GAS, many times I've seen those posts where people find rare stuff for cheap at a car boot sale and I feel like the boy in the meme that inevitably gets sent in the comments.
Where I'm from - Singapore, there are virtually no car boot sales or flea markets that would have people just setting up shop and selling whatever, even worse luck with cameras. The best we have are antique markets which are pretty overpriced, though I've seen things like a working Canon Model 7 + a Canon 50mm f0.95 for S$1000 (about US$780).
Online I've had more luck with Japan proxy sites but the good deals where family members are just selling as is things are few and far between. I've gotten lucky once in a while, like this Canon T70 in the photo I got for 2000 yen (S$18/US$14) alongside a bunch of lenses.
What's the best deal you've gotten & how would y'all find good deals in these circumstances?
