Ebayers Anonymous!

I'm here because i have an addiction to ebay. When i patrol the pages of ebay all i see is deal after deal. Natrually i want whatever is up for auction if i deem it a good deal wether or not i need it. In the last 2 months i have spent over $1,400 on ebay items. This does not count what i have spent at other online retailers.

Is there anyone else who suffers from this disease?

A while back, we bought a pool table. We've also got a didgeridoo, a drum set, some games and some other stuff. We like ebay round here.

i did when i first signed on, but its done with.

you go ripped off, well maybe not ripped off but close, with that 750gb Hitachi hard drive, pending on when you got it.

All I've used it for was to purchase some flags and one pretty rare manga (well, rare in the US).

All were under $15.

But I love to browse eBay. =D

I have a friend who is also addicted to ebay. He is actaully trying to borrow money from me to buy ebay items.

Spawn, all the prices i gave included shipping and is my total price. Some items might have brokerage fee's which will bump em up a little but it shouldnt be too much.

My name is J-Roc, i am addicted to Ebay.

I tried getting an 8GB Zune off tehre but they all went for 10%+ over the retail price, lol. Then again, I tried for maybe a couple weeks and then gave up. Ah well, I don't have enough money.

On anotehr note, I should start selling things on there now that I have a good camera and some more time.

I tend to buy stuff that I can get when I go on ebay. I've bought probably at least 100 items from there. I'd buy a lot more if O was over 18.

Let's see, in the last two weeks...

Two PicoPSU 90's for upcoming mods
Three Dynatron heatsinks for mobile Intel chips
Fender Vibro Champ XD(20% off coupon, free shipping, and 6% ebay cash back deal made a $250 guitar amp drop to $186)
Three mini-PCI wireless G cards for some embedded setups
RP-SMA pigtails for hooking external antennas to the above cards
2x2GB SODIMMs for another project
Line6 Variax Workbench

Had my tax "rebate" still unspent, so I splurged a bit.

Still have a $10 off shipping coupon to use before midnight, but I haven't found anything that really caught my eye.

I still buy the occasional item off of Ebay, but it's always the Buy It Now stuff, no auctions for me. I hate it when people say "Man, that's a really great deal on Ebay" when the auction still has three days to run. I don't care if it's got three MINUTES left, that price means exactly nothing.

Tell me how much you want for it and I'll tell you if I'm willing to pay that much for it. Transaction over. Life is too short.

I just bought a part for my RC car that I couldn't find anywhere else! thanks, ebay!

I buy hard to find things on ebay. Electronics and stuff you can't buy in Australia.

Please allow me to introduce you to ebay mainlining. It's called Auction Sieve.

Combined with Esnipe, you too can enjoy a whole new level of addiction.

I buy stuff that I may need or do need. My best deal has been a $1400 projection lens that I got for $75. I like to sell stuff on ebay. It's a pretty good game. Like house flipping, but with cheaper stuff.

I have a rookie goalie stick signed by Brian Boucher if anyone is interested. He currently holds the record for longest shutout streak in the NHL. I'm not sure what I want for it, and I'm not sure what it's really worth. I've got a bunch of other signed rookie sticks too. Stu Barnes, Scott Gomez, Daymond Langkow. Any hockey fans?

Anyway, eBay is pretty cool, but I'm still looking for that darned combine wall lithograph. Anyone? I'll trade for some hockey stuff. haha.

But seriously, ebay is good for the stuff that you can't find locally. As far as finding deals, it's ok if you know what you are looking for.

I've got some pretty sweet stuff dirt chep at garage sales, and even out of the trash.

Oh man, that lithograph is AWESOME.

Anyway, for the REAL deals on used stuff, I use craigslist. You can get stuff for so cheap on there, it's not even funny. Good for selling, no fees or anything, you just have to be local.

But ebay is awesome too. It's the first place to look for cool stuff.

I am an eBay addict from way back. I went through a selling craze for a while, selling everything in my room and eventually basement. When I ran out of stuff to sell I sold for friends. When that ran out I opened an eBay store and sold computer parts. Now I'm seeing the other end of the spectrum... I'm buying my first car off eBay in 1 hour and 46 minutes!
