Anybody Every Buy Parts From Online Or Ebay Stores?

I am looking for prices of front lower control arms for my SC400.

I am either going to install the Toyota Supra lower control arms, (thanks to the information this forum) or go with the Lexus lower control arms.

I notice there is a HUGE difference in pricing from the dealer and sites on the internet. Case in point....

Front Control Arm from diyautoparts.com (http://www.diypartscatalog.com/item.wws?sku=TOY051221&itempk=1989362&mfr=Genuine&weight=14.81) for Toyota Supra LCA $212.06. Compare to price from dealer retail $317.00, even with mechanic discount of 20% part would still be 257. from the dealer.

Front control arm from Ebay stores One Stop Lex Shop or Onlylex parts for a Lexus LCA are about $350. Same part (hopefully) from LEXUS Dealer $800. retail $640. wholesale.

What gives? Can I trust the Ebay stores? Are they selling true LEXUS and TOYOTA parts or clones? Anybody out there know?

I buy parts online all the time.

OEM parts sellers are usually pretty good and straightforward as it is a business for them .
