    I have loads of GM Genuine Spark plugs made by bosch.

    I am trying to sell them and have them listed on amazon and some on adverts but no interest. Anyone have good idea of other sites where I can sell them

    I refuse to sell on eBay for various reasons but it probably would be the best bet.

    I'm still sitting on these spark plugs that I would like to sell. I have them listed on adverts but have no takers.
    They are GM branded but made by Bosch
    Any idea where I could sell them? I have them listed for €20 but no takers

    its a pretty obscure sale tbh.

    not a bit enough bulk for a trader/ dealer to buy, but way more than one man can ever need.

    if it were me and i wanted them gone fast i'd put them in the bin. unless you need the money that is.

    I even don't have that many plugs for the fleet. 8 for the 1.2 fire, 4 for the 1.1, 4 for the FFR, 6 for the W126 and 6 for the E34

    What engines are they for exactly?

    Gonna have to get over that though arent you? :D
    Made for eBay, with Auctions set to WW and in batches of 6 or 8.

    Refuse to sell on eBay or deal with PayPal after seeing so many horror stories online, setting them drive an acquaintance out of business by freezing and holding funds as well as witnessing their very questionable business anti fraud tactics first hand. Bit of a rant I know!

    Thought I'd might get a few offers of a fiver for four

    we're talking 20 quid here.

    want them gone fast - wheelie bin.

    want your €20, put them on ebay.

    it's just logic at this stage. its a very limited market sale in a job lot.

    how did you acquire them?

    Ive been a member of both for 12years now, sure Ive had problems but less so than with my bank, who are a peer of sorts. Id suggest trying them out yourself.. TBH I would be completely lost without the ease of buying/selling car/computer stuff on eBay/forums, it would radically diminish my options.

    I know, I used to be eBay powerseller with thousands of positive feedback. One day randomly account was frozen and permanently banned due to PayPal's customer service mistake. Have been trying to resolve it since but PayPal don't play ball and refuse to comply with data protection laws

    You were a Powerseller but your unable to shift a handful of spark plugs in any other online medium? C'mon now.

    Is this thread a joke?

    Are you really that fu*king skint mate?

    Find the equivalent Bosch part number and advertise them on eBay. Put them up for less than what the cheapest available are selling at and don't allow bidding just 'buy it now' Fix the auction do an immediate payment is required through PayPal and offer free postage.

    No one will buy them thru adverts.ie or donedeal as its too much hassle and people dont generally look for parts like that on those sites so your wasting your time.

    Ok, you have several suggestions now OP. Just decide on one, good luck.
