What are your best Ebay bargains?

Just wondering what cheap goods people have got off Ebay and thought it might be nice to share.

My top one would be a gorgeous black Versace cocktail dress for £16.50 with free P&P, also had some really cheap Clinique lipsticks. I also got my mum a limited edition 8gb iPod for £22 which only needed reformatting.

    Too many to mention, but there was a seller a while ago of OOP Dungeons and Dragons books that I bought from. His T&Cs were awful but his service was very good.

    Other than that, I use eBay mostly of a way of buying collectables rather than looking for bargains as such, but I routinely beat Amazon prices on books and DVDs and I haven't yet had a fake or copy sent.

    I've had a lot of cheap stuff from hong kong actually now I think about it
  • Oh, and I got the nicest iphone case ever for 99p
  • My all time best was a pair of 'black leather boots, Size 9' - that was pretty much the listing in total!

    Bought them as cheap replacements for work for £4 - Delivered by 1st class!

    Turned up, Brand new, boxed and tagged Timberland boots, with a receipt tucked into one of the boots for nearly £120 from hiking shop and sold less than a week later for a stunning 100 English pounds as they were too small for me!
  • All the above well and good,

    But from a sellers point Ebay has 'Alienated' it's sellers over the last few years.:o

    Don't sell on their anymore sadly, More hassle than it's worth.

    (Easier to take my little van to the Boot fairs)

    Happy buying anyhow.:beer:
