My junker '93 needs a radiator

When I say junker, I mean my son's BMX bike is easily worth more than my car. Pulled into work this morning and the radiator was leaking out a pin hole in the top. I try and keep expenses on this car to the bare minimum. Local parts places are all selling a radiator for the same price (A.Z., Advance and O'Reilly), $91.99. I see radiators on eBay in the mid $50s with free shipping. Looking for opinions on a cheap radiator.

Thanks,
Gary
 
$90 for a radiator is pretty cheap, rockauto has them for $67 before shipping so the parts store may be the best bet. Unless you find a brand new one in a junkyard, there are lots of old proteges in the JYs in my area.
 
Thanks for the input. I'll probably go with a local parts place for the ease of it, but I have some time to wait for shipping as it will be the next weekend before I can install the new radiator. I'll be curious if someone on this site has experience with any of the eBay merchants.
