What do you buy?

Maybe this should be on Discussions but it's purely Ebay.

What do you buy though - just interested to know. I buy jewellery - Pilgrim and Les Nereides Also get Mac and occasionally Nars make-up. Also get coffee for the Senseo as the UK Douwe Egberts pods are a bit boring.

Then I buy stuff for the kids - gameboy games and clothes.

Only buy from Uk now apart from the games as I get them from one seller in HK and usually pay via bank transfer as it saves sellers money.

    im a kid yet lol (18) i buy phones, got new N70 last week, looking for gps unit now. Buy speed garage, obviously copied as it is not owned by any company. Hmmm weird i spend a lot of time on ebay, i hardly get anything lol.
    If people cant help people on these threads, then they should rather not say anything then say something which isnt any use to the person who needs help
  • I also buy gameboy games and baby clothes which i use until their either grown out of or got bored of and then sell back on ebay. Last year I bought 3 pcs and 1 laptop really cheap and 3 brand new prams and 1 only used a few times. Today ive had delivered a nearly brand new 3 seater and 2 seater suite For £20 which was paid for from my quidco payments so was free to me. Most of these have been paid for from junk Ive sold on ebay and cashback from quidco.

    elisebutt65 search the freebies board cos you can get a packs of those coffee pods free worth about £3-£4 each! I got some but they went out of date due to being pregnant at the time and couldn't drink too much coffee!!

    Yeah - I know - I got some and had some delivered to BF's house as well - lol. I get the flavoured ones off EBay that we can't get in the UK.
