Ebay Parts Question

[cg25713]

Hello All: I'm about to order a 4 man soft top kit with soft doors for my newly acquired truck. Does anyone know about any fraud or scams on ebay concerning hmmwv parts? I've purchased many humvee items from higher volume sellers without a problem so far. I was a victim on a big ticket item several years ago so I just thought I'd ask here if there were any known incidents.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Best regards.

Check prices against buying directly from breton.
Many Ebay sellers are just reselling and marking up.

Breton website says they no longer sell to the public. Do you know if they do? I'd buy directly if I could. I figured there would be a good markup on ebay but if there wasn't, where could I get it and what's the point for the seller? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

That is a shame as they were reasonable but I can see the difficulty of collecting sales tax and remitting to all the locations is not worth the small retail business they do in comparison to the Military and gov't orders.
I blame the greedy state legislators who went after ebay, amazon and online sellers so they can mis appropriate more $ to the pet projects that their special interest voters want.

I agree completely.

They stopped because the amount of time it took to answer the phones on people constantly calling asking where there order was....yes, that’s the actual real reason.
I have made many calls to folks in the industry since and frankly Breton was forewarned not to go consumer direct but to
partner with a known established distributor, that unfortunately fell on deaf ears at the corporate level.
