Hi Jim,

        The spectra products, if arrive healthy seem to be well made and a good fit.  And are often a good price and have free shipping.  Sometimes the same as at places like GW but much lower price especially with shipping. 
        Why do folks purchase from eBay?  

        I recently purchased marker lights  and a starter from eBay recommended by experienced folks on this list.  I prefer purchasing from our venders but sometimes the availability, product choice, or price result in Amazon or eBay  or Rock Auto or AutohausAZ , sadly the latter lost some of my info and cost me a credit card scare. 
Sadly, Amazon is also the easiest site for me to use with my screen reader. 

And, the camping items like USB rechargeable flashlights and fans and such are often easily found there. 

I never mastered Banggood, is that what it’s called? Or some of the other discount sites.

Just a few reasons I sometime shop there.
