Doers Builders and Positive People

2009 eBay Motors Master Contest

By Paul Crowe

eBay Motors MastereBay Motors is a huge resource for anyone looking for a project vehicle and for finding the parts necessary to put it all together. To highlight what’s possible, they’re having a contest to see what you’ve done. Whether your project is a motorcycle, muscle car, tuner or off road vehicle, show everyone the results of your work in a video and you may win some very nice prizes and recognition, as well. Sounds like a nice way to see what some of the “doers” can do.

You could win a $2500 shopping spree on eBay Motors to buy more parts, you’ll be awarded the title of eBay Motors Master, you’ll get a free trip to SEMA in Las Vegas and star in a video as an eBay Motors DIY Spokesperson.

I’ve been asked to help sift through the finalists along with John Neff of Autoblog, Rob Einaudi of CarDomain, Peter Macgillivray of SEMA and Famous Rhodes of eBay Motors.

Complete details are on the eBay Motors Master site at the links below, if you have any questions, be sure to consult those pages. If your project wins, you’ll find yourself at SEMA with an extra $2500 for parts. There are some drawings along the way with prizes of $1000 eBay Motors shopping sprees, too. Nothing wrong with that so check it out!

    While eBay is sometimes the only place to find certain parts, I consider it a source of last resort. Even if a part is listed, your ability to get it depends more on luck than anything else. If you do manage to win an auction, it can be hard to do so for anything like a reasonable price. Then there are high shipping costs because you usually can’t order more than one or two parts from the same source. If you’re looking for custom parts, there’s rarely enough information to figure out before purchasing whether you’ll actually be able to use them.

    The bright spots are the eBay stores. Most that I’ve had experience with have been very professional, and all the auctions have “buy it now” options so you don’t have to worry about not getting parts. Of course, eBay stores are basically just regular online stores for which eBay provides a framework. While eBay deserves credit for that, the online auction part of their business is generally a terrible buying experience, especially for small and/or rare items.

    I enjoy Ebay for the fact that I can find stuff there that I can’t find anywhere else. Hard to beat regardless of the price.

    Too bad pretty much all the bikes I’ve built with Ebay parts are sold off. It would be hard to do a video of one. Glad to hear that Paul will be judging and not OCC. Congrats for the recognition.

    That’s cool. I look forward to seeing who wins and hopefully some of the runner ups as well.

    I agree with Genwaylaid. It truly is a last resort place. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been dissapointed with the service. Nevertheless, i still check it out to see if there are any parts on there I need. There are so many places nowadays to get parts, the game has changed. I always wanted to go to sema but don’t want to submit no video.

    I put my 1974 Suzuki T-500 cafe/rat in the contest, check it out and vote if you like it. You can win a Grand!
