Have I forgotten how to search eBay?
It sure seems like I have, because I see way less of what I am searching for these days. This applies to current and older components.
The place is littered with new product from businesses and there is a serious lack of take-off or lightly used components from private sellers.
And much of what I do see from private sellers is product thats over in Europe. If I excluded shipping from Europe, there would be no results on some searches.
This isnt complaining, its really genuine confusion. There still have to be parts for sale- the market may be soft, sure, but cycling is still popular and people still like to sell their stuff. Those things havent changed.
Its like stuff moved over to a new platform, but facebook marketplace and CL certainly arent where components are reliably found, at least not near me.
