Default Discovered eBay This Week

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 ****). 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 ****** 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.

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.....

This is the eBay store I manage, it is only one of the 40 plus Business to Consumer web sites that our company operates.

Our feedback blows at 99.7% positive!

Default ebay

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.
