I stopped searching FL stuff on ebay long ago. Can't remember when I bought FL-related items the last time. Maybe 4 years ago. Just like the real life flea markets it turned into a depressing thing and the ridicule shipping costs killed it completely for me.

When it was still possible I bought a large dial-type 40s/50s torque wrench on ebay (that still works perfect). The wrench was like 15 and shipping around 20 usd. Shipping today would be 150-200+. Even items that fit in an envelope, like a needle/seat kit, are at least $15 shipping these days.
