Ebag 'vs' craigslist

I ended up having to use Ebay for a drivers side V8 exhaust manifold, most local yards simply didn't have them, and the one that probably would've, charges three times what other yards charge, it would have run me a hundie, easy. A wanted ad on craigslist got nothing over a three month period.
I watched Ebay for a month, and found one for $45 with shipping. Craigslist is nice, but Ebay can be just as good if you can be patient.
