i'm still not sure how live.com works. does msn pay you? or do they take it out from the company?
also when I was searching for new indoor basketball shoes I used live search. not much new stuff came up from their database as showing that they would give cash back. And when i click on link to store it'll load that "this visit will qualify you % back..blah blah blah" but I have no clue which will qualify and which doesn't.

Basically you find what you want as a buy-it-now item, watch that item, then do a live.com search for some keyword (currently "overstock electronics" for 20% off), look for the ebay link that says the % off, click on it to go to ebay, make sure on top of the screen you see the % off banner on the ebay site, click on myebay, click on the watching item, and purchase. Simple as that and you get 20% up to $200 off currently. It fluctuates and I've seen it go as high as 30%. Simple and free money.
I should have bought it a few weeks back when it was at 30% so I could have gotten the full $200 off, but $180 off is still good and don't have to worry about waiting for the group buy numbers to fill up before it gets shipped.

This method works for any item on ebay? 
Microsoft pays you. Some payments are instant credits back to Paypal, while others will take 60 days (I guess to make sure you don't return the item).

yes, any item that is buy it now. Currently it's back down to 8% off, but it changes daily, sometimes hourly. Been buying gift cards at 30% off whatever the seller already discounted them for. Same with my angel eye fogs and my new Nikon D90.

I've tried every search possibly (cheap ipods, wii..etc) and I tryed IE and FF and still not on link says "get % off ebay" thing. Wierd. So you just went to seach.live.com and searched something (overstock electronics) and it gave you a link to get some % off from ebay? Maybe they stopped doing it?
edit: nevermind I had to change to the US live.com search from the canadian one.

i can't get over 8% either, it changes alot (from what I hear), so you have to check it alot and have the items you want to buy in your watch list ready to buy because you only get 1 hour to buy something from your intial live.com search.

So, got the grille, was very raw (pits, scratches, smeared fiber). Not as big an issue though as it hadn't been clear coated and was dry. However, it didn't fit. I've replaced the grille on my car numerous times, so know what I'm doing, but this grille just wasn't working. Even took it to my shop to take a look at. The two side knobs snapped in, but the center clip doesn't align correctly and the right side bottom won't clip on. Maybe it was just mine as the one Frank has looked fine fitment wise, but unfortunately had to return it. Oh well.

for the bottom roll when I put mine in I took my hand and reach down behind the grille so I can push it from the back side and then push the bumper on the front where the tabs are until it clips in.
if you are in SoCal maybe I can take a look at it for you.

did you mean the top center clip isn't aligned? mine's a little off, but hooks in regardless.

sorry to hear that bro..oh well theres more things to do with the car..just wait for neil hahaha thats what im doing!
The top wouldn't hook in. The holes didn't align in any way that I could jam the hook in. That wasn't as big a deal I guess, but yeah, the front bottom right wouldn't clip in. The left side clipped in just fine. Tried reaching in and pushing from the back as well as pulling from the front. It would just pop back out. I've already returned it and K1 agent who looked at it admitted that my grille was more beat up than the normal ones they've shipped out. It's all good. Just wasn't meant to be.
