ebay junkies

anyone else here a big fan of ebay? what kind of things do you buy / look for? a friend of mine just recently put me on to ebay (i was always hesitant to buy from it) but recently ive had a blast buying all kinds of different shit. although i thought you could find stuff on there for a lot cheaper in stores, i havent ran into any crazy cheap deals. i recently bought some new subs, and some tattoo mags so far.

so, who else here is a fan of ebay? any bad experiences? let's hear them.

used panties

ebay? eh...you know what i really like though? sandwiches..mmmmm. as we speak i am working with some munster and roast beef with tomatoes and mayo on sourdough...oh yeah.

i browse ebay numerous times throughout the day just looking at

whatever comes to my mind. i quite frequently buy and sell stuff

off ebay, and think it's just a good idea. you can find shit for wayy

cheaper than the price offered in stores, or you can find shit that

you would not be able to find elsewhere.

i recently discovered the unbelievable awesome that is a toasted bagel with turkey and kraft cheese.

if im really ambitious, i stick some onions between the cheese and roast beef, and nuke it for melted scrumptiousness.

*edit:

I guess to many people checkin out 12oz..I was able to log in just a while ago..All day i kept gettin that message..Then again I tought it was me cause I'm still running with 56k.. :yuck:

I've been tempted to buy some synths and drum machines off e-bay, but I'm worried about spending that much money and getting something that is broken. Those types of things really need to be tested out before you buy them if they are used.

Also, I get really discouraged by the bidbots that people set up for those things, such a pain in the ass, I've lost several items because of that.

^^ Agreed, those shits piss me right off.

I've lost some killer deals too because i was outbid in the last 3 seconds of the auction by someone's bot.

Are you actually allowed to use those? Shit's a rip.

yeah, getting bunk items is always in the back of my mind. and it

is a pain in the ass to get the whole situation straightened out, but

if worse comes to worse and say that your relative is a lawyer, and

you will be forced to resort to legal action unless proper reimburse-

ment(sp?) is made.

or you can just find their addy, and stab them

They run bots on ebay now.. Interesting.

Anyone know how to set one up?

I wouldnt mind sweeping bids from under people a minute out..

My name is b0b and I am an ebay addict.

However this addiction has helped me in real life. My wife wanted to buy some artwork and enquired at the same time as someone else. The guy selling it said he would sell by sealed envelope auction, so we had to write down how much we'd pay for it (as did the other prospective buyer). My wife was saying £10 and I made her do £10.01. We hand the bids in and the other buyer had put £10 down so we won the auction by 1p. Ebay has given my valuable life skills now.

I've been on eBay for 5 years now...I was once really addicted to eBay. I enjoyed getting packages in the mail on the regular. I would bid on too many items at a time...

That addiction has been broken...now I mostly sell shit on eBay. If you're careful with your bids you won't have negative experiences. Only bid on items that have photos and fair shipping prices. Don't get ripped off by omitting the details.

Read the dealers feedback if you are scared of taking a loss.

I've had over 400 transactions on eBay and I've only been burnt probably 10 times. You win some and lose some. If looks too good to be true than it probably is........

I'm not sure what to think, but check this auction.

Meanwhile, how fucking ridiculous is this?

yeah i sell and buy shit on here all the time. usually i buy certain video games for cheaper prices than the store, dvd movies, certain artwork, sometimes books, sometimes clothes all because they're usually cheaper, just random shit. i recently just sold an ipod, a stack of dvd's, some jeans, an autographed muhamad ali picture (with frame), and an enyce velour shirt... i notice when it comes to selling "hip hop clothing", i get a lot of customers from sweden. most expensive shit i bought was an authentic game-worn lamar odom jersey
