Rinkya, has anybody used it?

[DRFT]

so i hear about this site about bidding on yahoo auctions. has anybody had success on it?

[Salty_X]

SHHHH!! :squintd:

Yes, I've used it with success. You have to pick your parts carefully though, because of all the fees Rinkya charges (plus shipping!). More likely than not, if a part is available in the US in decent quantities, it'll be cheaper to buy it here than on Rinkya. But for rare parts or something you really want, it can be a useful tool.
You can't buy the really cool stuff like seats, body kits, or engines either...

someone delete this.

It is all a lie...

[OptionZero]

you can't buy anything larger than a rim or small spoiler, but if you want rare interior bits or what not

They rape you on shipping since they're not a large company and dont get good rates. They are also slow as fuck and unreliable, it took them 2 months to get me my stuff, and lost one of my buddies rims and still have not reimbursed him, and the item shipped before april

I know someone that was getting some MR2 and Subaru parts through Rinkya still cheap enough to make a tidy profit selling the same parts once again on eBay.

[boro240]

yes, shipping=rape.

Rinkya works but

- its slow
- cannot ship large parts
- assrapes you for shipping (YOU pay shipping both ways)
- assrapes you on fees

Not worth it unless it something uber rare or a great deal (ex: PFC for like $50).
