Have you noticed a reduction in Classic Bronco posts?

Since ebay started collecting taxes, have you noticed it isn't as good as it used to be?
Less good collectable items for sale. I don't know where many of the good sellers went.

opinions? or, is it my imagination.

I agree I do not shop through e-bay any more. I would like to find other sources similar to what e-bay used to be.

It is a combination of things. One is Facebook, as nvrstuck said. Other is time of year. Looking at the posts in the for sale parts section daily and there is not much new on a daily basis. Most of the things that I see are new members or perhaps not new members selling things that they don’t know much about. Seems lots of guys are hoarding their loot due to it being harder and harder to find.

I just lurk now rather than post Mark... not a big deal, just enjoying my DD EB currently in need of a water pump.

For me it's been work, teenage daughter, etc...mostly work though.

So damn busy at work it has affected everything in my life....and not in a good way.
Rapid growth in my Dept at work has made for playing catch-up for too long and working at it too hard. But in our business you "strike while the iron is hot"....the work "ebbs and flows"....so I'm not bitching I'm just tired.

My wife asked why I haven't been on Classic as much and I basically told her that,
I go to work,
I come home,
watch news,
go to bed
and start over.

She responded with, "you fish too", lol.

So for me it's just a crazy busy life for the last couple months, that has kept me away.
I missed you guys.

I can say that I have not been on here as much since my major portion of my build is done. But I love to see what others are doing. My problem is that I have been so busy I don't have time to just poke around here.

They started salting (because of the local ministers of fear) mid October; sleep came early this year.
Soon, the Duff spare swinger and a few other things will be off for painting.

Yes the Facebook Bronco pages are unbearable.


Kinda useful at times and kinda painful.

Had a guy recently that wanted to know about the explorer swap. I responded it can be done and go to classicbroncos and find a complete write up. Two days later and still him asking questions as well as others, asking the same questions...….. Jeez talk about hard headed.

I don't understand why people don't do more research especially when you have CB.com that can answer most of your questions..

Old man rant over.

I tend to keep my comments to a minimum on FB Bronco pages... Someone asked a question when I first joined, I provided the answer. Only to have some Yahoo say I was wrong, it doesn't work that way and this (his) answer was the best way to go.

I am not interested in having a debate, I answered his question based on my almost 20 year Bronco experiences. Better things to do with my time...

Happy New Year everyone!

Work has been crazy, and the weather rainy.

When work calms down, I want to have a go at that vent window delete kit.

Any opinions on fitment?

I am not a fan of the FB groups either. I have the same stuff listed there as I have here for better exposure and a guy was beating me up on the shipping I finally told him take it or leave it. I have never had anyone on this board be such a jerk. I don't make the postal rates.... And furthermore I think the stuff I list is very reasonable in price as it is.

This is one of the reasons that I don’t post much. I search cb.com and someone else has already asked the question and gotten the answer.
