Of course I had to go look. :-)  It is a front for a company called GT
International in Ventura, California (never heard of 'em myself).  He
appears to merely be relisting a large wholesaler's catalog, which he
probably orders in as needed or else dropships.  He misspells "Volkswagon."

No bargains here at all. On every Vanagon part in his Ebay store, even his
"10% off 1-Day Sale" prices are higher than my everyday prices.

For example, his "10% off" sale price is $18 plus an inflated $13 shipping
for a Mahle ball joint.  But my everyday price for the identical product is
$12.80 with list discount ($13.47 without) plus about half the shipping
cost.  Similarly, he sells Indian made wheel cylinders cost (which he
questionably claims to "meet or exceed OEM specs") for about the same as my
European made ones.  And you could buy a PAIR of rear hatch struts from me
for about what he charges for just one on his website. Out of curiosity, I
also randomly checked a couple of Jetta parts (since BusDepot.com also
covers all VW models), and found similar results.
