Whats the best ever thing you have bought on Ebay?

Turning adamhoward1's thread around slightly, whats the best ever thing you have bought from ebay?

It doesn't need to be the biggest bargain, it can be an exceptionally rare item or something of great personal value to you......

Personally, i picked up a video of the mighty LFC's fantastic 1987/88 season for around 10p.....absolute bargain and a chance to see one of the best matches ever that i actually missed at the time.

    I bought a 1+ carat diamond/platinum ring from Ebay in America. No custom charges and my local jeweller valued it at £3-4K. I paid £147.

    I also bought 3 BabyG watches when they were very trendy. Instead of £65 each, I paid £7.

    i bought Jamie Olivers scooter that he had sold once on Ebay for his charity, i then bought it from the person who had it (on Ebay agin) , it was signed by Jamie , had photos of him handing over the keys, letters from Aprilia certifying it was Jamies, an article in FHM with him on it and best of all his Pi$$pot helmet and was great fun to ride and attracted loads of attention

    A couple of good bargains with furniture.
    Dyrlund rosewood desk, cupboards, credenza and chair for my home office. Catalogue value was £23,000 and I paid £2,000.
    Oak dining table (8x4) where the top slides off to reveal a slate-bed snooker table, plus six specially made oak chairs. All very heavy (takes five to lift the table top) and a lot of wood for £1000.
    I just WISH I'd bought Rick Wakeman's Vauxhall Cresta Estate when it came up. It went for peanuts.
    Can I help?

    Surely it should be "brought"?

    Anyway, I've not bought anything major off Ebay, but I continually buy CDs for £2-£3. I've not bought one from a shop for 5 years now.
    Happy chappy
