lol, I'm pretty cheap myself but I'm definitely a lot quieter about it than Waldo. Mostly because people here get their panties in a wad: "ZOMG YOUR CAR IS GOING TO EXPLODE!! NON AUDI GENUINE WTF!$!$!!!$^^!LOL^BBQ!!". Which I've never understood. Parts fail, shit happens. I have no issue with ebay and understand the parts are not OEM and may require some work to make things fit, or investigate the quality/design prior to placing it on the car. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose... in most of my cases I win and the situations where I've lost it was only a few bucks and well worth the effort to try.

Precaution and Experience can circumvent risk and result in lots of $$$ saved, and I do enjoy $$$ considering how poor I am lately :(.
