Expensive Accessories on Ebay
If yall do a search (new listings) for "RX8" you'll see this dealership selling a lot of RX8 accessories for high a$$ prices. 'Buy it now' for fender strakes is set at $274! I emailed them and told them that they retail for $250 and you can get them for a little under $200. People will do anything to get some extra $$

Did you get a reply? Don't people realize that with the internet you can usually find stuff CHEAPER? Maybe that particular dealership is hoping to find a LAZY rx8 owner, or maybe they're just greedy... or maybe it's both. Well, if they find some poor schmuck to bid on and win those items... more power to em. Must be the only they actually sell any rx8 parts.

Not trying to hijack, but this applies for computer parts also. For the newer stuff on the market you can almost always find it cheaper at online places like Newegg.
