<p>I tried buying a US Senate spot, but it had already been sold.</p>
<p>I buy Nike, adidas, and Under Armour polos, windsuits, rain gear, etc mainly. I’ve also bought a Blackberry from there and a Dell Pocket PC.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, my husband sold his Mercedes on Ebay motors. It was in mint condition, but about 10 years old at that point. Not a ding on it. We’re in NY. Someone in South Dakota bought it and shipped it overseas.</p>
<p>I buy and sell. Usually buy. It’s a great place to find just about anything.</p>
<p>Son’s tuxedo that he has used all through high school and now through college. Linens (ralph lauren, some nicer ones), missing matching pieces- extra flat sheets, sham or bedruffle or throw pillow. Kiddos’ respective institutions “stuff”, old pennants, old newspaper clippings, older mementos for pennies that they have used to decorate and furnish their dorm rooms with. Used textbooks. Hello Kitty stuff from overseas that they don’t carry here in US for little niece. Always a strange and unique assortment of “stuff”. Sometimes kiddos sell their “stuff” as well, they always manage to acquire things people buy.</p>

<p>I check eBay before I buy anything 
The most cost effective thing I’ve bought is diabetic test strips: $110 at Wal-Mart; $25 in sealed boxes on eBay! I <em>never</em> buy them retail anymore since our insurance doesn’t cover them.</p>
<p>soft-footbed birkenstocks.</p>
<p>funny about the senate seat, hops_scout! BTW, I recently tried to buy a dark blue under armour polo shirt for my H but someone else outbid me. Was that YOU!?!?!?! Ironically, I was buying ds’s textbooks on amazon.com, went to pay with my discovercare , and somehow, when showing my s the cash rewards program, discovered that Discovercard ws offering a 15% back on underarmour purchases. So I clicked the link tot he underarmour website,and they weere having a great sale! I got DH 3 underarmout polos (blue, green/tan sorta color, and a striped one) for $99 (free s&h) and I should see that 15% back on my cr card! It was a beter deal than the ebay, si I was happy!</p>
<p>My s recently sold a brand new Phillies jersey that we had, through my account on ebay, but then shortly thereafter, someone hijacked my ebay account and put of a fake item for sale (expensive camera). Dont understand how they think they would have been paid if the item sold, but I was able to get the item removed by ebay and I quickly changed my password. That was creepy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I meet the requirements for that Senate seat (I live in Illinois and I offered money ;))</p>
<p>Now, for the Under Armour polo… I think I deserve some sort of reward for helping you get a better deal elsewhere 
And actually it wasn’t me… I don’t do blue.</p>
<p>I just bought a PS2 game off ebay a couple minutes ago… in fact processing it now.</p>
<p>Congrats on the ps2!! Are there any deals on the wii on ebay?? (And sorry for all my typos in the previous post!! I type fast, but very inaccurately)</p>
<p>Mostly clothes and shoes (bought a new pair of limited edition Wallabees a couple of years ago for $25 when they retail for $150). But I will buy other stuff if I price compare and ebay has the best price.</p>
<p>I buy things I can’t find elsewhere, or things that I can find elsewhere and I know exactly what I want, but is much cheaper on ebay.</p>
<p>For example: When my son got married, we wanted a set of Bratz bride and groom dolls to give the flower girl as a gift. Couldn’t find it in any store around here. Did on ebay. Also bought her flower halo, the basket to carry the flowers in and the ring bearers pillow. Much, much cheaper than in any store I saw and wonderful quality.</p>
<p>I found the perfect dress for myself at a very fancy store but wasn’t about to pay the $400 - $500 dollars it cost. So I tried it on, found the perfect size and bought it on ebay. It wasn’t even a used one. Spent $87.</p>
<p>Lost my cutco vegetable peeler. Wasn’t about to spend $27 for a new one. Bought it on ebay for $11. Including shipping.</p>
<p>One thing I will NOT buy on ebay any more is electronics. If they don’t work, it’s a huge hassle to return. Even if they take it, you have to pay postage back. I will buy those at a store with a decent return policy.</p>

<p>I wish. I’m not a huge video game person (just got PS2 last night from my sister and her boyfriend b/c they had two of them) but I would like to have a Wii. But there’s no way I’m paying what they want for one.</p>
<p>Sheesh, Wii is still a hot item? No wonder hubby was mobbed by folks in the parking lot when he walked out of a local electronics store with a Wii Fit. He said I should have seen them running towards the front door when he said there was a pile of Wii Fits in there!</p>
<p>I did not go for the book on e-bay. B&N sells it for several dollars less, and I got a 15% off coupon e-mail. Free shipping rules!</p>
<p>Bought a set of Camry hub caps from eBay. They beat toyota price but don’t have the toyota logo. You’d need someone to tell you they are missing because you can’t hardly tell the difference.</p>
<p>My name is Hmom, and I’m an addict. I only found ebay this week and I already have substantial positive feedback. I am a wonderful, super fast paying ebayer! I need help…</p>
<p>Smiling at your comments, Hmom. I used to spend way too much time on ebay. If you collect anything, it can be an obsession. I have had very good luck with ebay and been treated well by the vast majority of sellers. One lady even sent some vintage hats by a faster postage method at her expense so my d’s theatre group would have them in time for photo session.</p>
<p>I bought vintage hats and gloves for a period play. I’ve bought antique dolls and clothing and accessories, jewelry, designer linens and clothing and lots of other antique items. It’s fun, some good prices sometimes, but also can be time-consuming (like CC).</p>
<p>We have bought all sorts of stuff, from DVDs to proactive face powder for dd. Recently, our refrigerator’s ice maker quit working. DH found a replacement valve on ebay. The seller gave us his phone number and email address and explained how to fix the ice maker. We’ve only sold one item so far. I’m still a little nervous on that end, but I have to say I love to buy! I am always amazed at what one can find on ebay. I like to look for gifts there. I have found old local books for people and other items that I would never find in a store.</p>
