Best Ebay Bargain You've Had?

I bought a 1 week old Freesat HD receiver for £32 as the guy spelt it wrong in the title:D Sold it tonight for £93, RRP is £110, so I was well chuffed with that:beer:

    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155
  • I NEVER get bargains on ebay, sob. I am useless at buying. On the other hand I am a red hot seller, so hooray!

    Not ebay but ebid. I bought some limited edition items, highly collectable from two connected sellers who had moved over from ebay but hadn't changed their selling tactics.

    I got the items at the start price of 99p each and bought several loads of them over a two week period . I then resold them on ebay at their actual value which was upwards of £10 a piece.

    The sellers actually contacted me in the end telling me it was a fair cop, they had learned their lesson and were going back to ebay and would see me there. It was nice while it lasted though.

    I sell second hand clothes. Nice ones too. I like to think that not only am I doing my bit by reducing landfill, but am making lots of people happy and getting some money for me too. Everybody wins. Also I list when the football is on downstairs and I am suddenly become the Invisible Woman as far as my OH is concerned.

    New fan heater, 99p, saucepan stand, 99p, fancy speaker stands, < £15.

    Most of the bargains are be searching for collection only, I find.
  • AKSHULLY I did buy for ten quid a collection only fancy food processer which I used to whisk up my Cambridge diet and lost two stone. So Still a loss overall, but a happy one!
