Default Are Ebay headers killing my sale?

I was a bit surprised that my JDM DC Sport headers didn't sell on Ebay. Perhaps it was the timing or could it be all these cheaper knockoff headers being sold on Ebay? I know some people go with respected companies to know the quality is going to be there but I also know that a lot of Honda owners don't have millions either.

Here's my ad: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1551116

Any comments?

Sure.

1. How is this ITR related?
2. Are you a paid sponsor on Honda-Tech?
3. Is this thread a plug for hits on your product?

Lastly, from someone who advertises alot, this thread definitely looks like advertising.

your sale is getting killed by ground clearance.

Don't be a douche.

1. It is an ITR header so ITR related.
2. I don't need to be a sponsor. I'm asking a sales and demand question in this thread.
3. You can interpret it anyway you like but to answer your question, no.

How do I advertise alot? What do you mean?

Yeah, I think this is partially true but the some of the knockoffs have just as bad ground clearance as well.

Try craigslist.org instead.

i.e. http://chicago.craigslist.org/

More likely to find locals who will buy your stuff. Also you can peruse the "erotic" section for ***** and giggles

Ebay is all about low balling - if you want to get good $$$ for your stuff - forget about Ebay.

Besides look at the prices of most of the other stuff on there - the only headers that are over 200 are for V6s (get 2 headers)

I'm being a douche because I have to pay for advertisement? I have every right to be concerned if I'm paying and you're not.
