I think it's a good thing.Keep up the good work Joey!And maybe some people around here should have a little more faith in their fellow man.
Who's the "FABO E-bay feed" person trying to sell us parts? If we ignore him may-be he will go away. toolman
Don't sweat it dude. I didn't know who it was either. You just asked a simple question. :-DSorry I asked guys. My apologies to Joey and all who are offended by my attitude. Until a few minutes ago I didn't know who or what was going on.
I thought it was a scammer trying to push parts or something. I feel like a heel! Didn't mean to offend anyone.

No good deed goes unpunished....seems like Joey is being nice enough to look out for a-body parts on ebay and letting us members know about them. Thank you Joey.
I don't think its him selling the stuff, he finds it on ebay and post it here in case any of use want it. I glad he does. I bought some used carpet for my Barracuda I didn't know was on ebay until he posted it here. So thanks....who ever you are:cheers:
Now that someone else brings it up - I think it's a shame that he posts a bunch of stuff on Ebay first without offering it to forum members first. Sounds like a scheme to squeeze a few more dollars from some people. :angry7:
Think you nailed it bud. I was wondering about this and came to the conclusion that Joey has struck a deal with eBay to list auctions that we would find interesting in return for $$ to keep the site running. I'd much rather see postings from FABO eBay feed than a prompt telling me I had to cough up X amount of dollars before I could sign in. It can't be cheap to keep enough servers running to cover the traffic generated by the membership we have. Personally, I think Joey deserves a big thumbs up for doing what it takes to keep the site free so cheapskates like me can come here and spout our drivel. :thumbrig:
Sorry that is not true items don't always sell on FABO. I offered a bunch of stuff earlier on FABO, sold some and had no interest on the rest for a couple of weeks, So I put it on E-bay and I hope he post some of the e-bay stuff for me on FABO.:cheers::cheers::cheers:
Only complaint I got is I tried to contact him to see how he does the link and he won't return the messages.:angry7::angry7::angry7:
I think he,s doing us all a favour,afterall they are A-body parts for sale!It,s his site and can do as he pleases.If it helps the site..great!If you don,t like them?Don,t look!
Anything I can do to keep the site free is exactly what I will do. Yes, servers and hosting are VERY expensive. I spend about $10K a year on such things (although not just to house FABO, I have other websites also) And yes, I do like to make a profit also since websites are my livelihood.
IF you buy something through the ebay links that are posted or through the eBay search box currently on the top right of this page, I make a small commission.
But dont misunderstand. This is one of my very favorite sites and it is not all about money for me. I recently had someone offer me a six figure amount to sell FABO, FEBO and FBBO. I declined without hesitation. SO please dont ever doubt my intentions here.
BANGO! Thank you!
If anybody hasn't noticed, I'll letcha know right here and now that Joey makes his rounds to his sites, a daily check up so to speak if you will. While he does this chore, he comes into FABO and stays awhile, interacts with everyone and actually spends time here. Not just in a joke forum, but all over.
If anything, he's an active member.
You guys are all right! I always knew who Joey was I just didn't know he was doing the e-bay link thing. I think it's a great idea and anything like that to defray the cost to operate these sites is great. I ordered a PST suspension kit
from the ad on the right----------------> and now I know the program, I'll
pay closer attention to what's for sale. This site has become a second home.
It's the best place to go to meet with friends and talk about our hobby. I've learned a lot and I hope I've taught others. There's lots of Mopar experience here and everyone is willing to help. Joey, you've created quite a site here that
is part of the lives of thousands. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do! toolmanmike Mike Weidner
Amen bro!
