Thumbs up Ebay Seller OEM Parts Cheap

I am an internet researcher when it comes to everything. My dealer price matches, even online sellers (most won't). I needed a new front grill for my 2006 SL500 because the previous owner had done some cut outs for his detecting police radar (why is the word alluding me at the moment). Anyway, I checked every place over the course of 3 weeks and I thought I'd try Ebay and I found what appears to be an individual or a start-up guaranteeing the lowest price on brand new oem parts. And he was about 30% less than everyone else. I haven't gotten the order yet, but, I asked him for a new front bumper price (parking stops scratched up and cracked) and again, 30% seems to be about how much cheaper he is than any place I can find online.

Thought I would pass it along. I'll let you know how it goes.

What's the actual percentage off list price that are you getting? I think one of the cheapest place out there is huskerparts.com which I think is about 30% off list price. So if you're saying that you're getting 30% off the cheapest price, then that really works out to about 51% off as 30% off something that's already 30% off is 21%.
