As active as I am online, I've never bought anything on eBay. Since my WONDERFUL wife gave me the green-light to factory refurbish my audio gear at home I've bought 7 items, all audio related. Can't wait to get everything back up and running, it's all been in my garage, for about 7 years (since my youngest son discovered music and the volume knob). Now they're all out of the house it's all about Sonic Holography again!

Anyway... how many of you have bought anything online? Best finds? Worst/funny experiences? Spill it!

I buy discontinued perfume and books on ebay. I am always on the look out for cell phone accessories or a cheap sidekick that I can snatch up.

I also buy old, random crap like a Zoobilee Zoo VHS tape and matching soundtrack on cd.

And My Little Ponies.

And Paris Hilton crap like posters and buttons.

But mostly books and perfume.

It was a present for my brother. I would love to purchase more. But waiting to find the right thing and for the wife to say its okay.

e-bay is pretty much my superstore for any and everything, there is not too much you won't find on e-bay, heck they sell boxes of condoms at discount prices, you could probably type in "jar of spit" and something will come up.....

watch for the sellers ratings, and how often he/she has sold something (the number behind the name). The higher the number the more relavent the positive or negative rating percentage. The only times I got burned was buying a Digimon card for my son and getting a cheap chinese copy of a DVD (with some editing!) and I've bought plenty from eBay and will continue to do so.
