Subject: What Kind Of Stuff Do You Usually Buy On Ebay?

Written By: CatwomanofV on 01/29/07 at 4:16 pm

The other thread in the "Ask Me" section got me to wonder what kinds of stuff do people usually buy on ebay. I'm sure most of you know with me, it is coins. But I have been known to purchase other items: DVDs, crystals, and gifts for other people.

Two Def Leppard biographies
A smudge stick
A poster of the wiccan rede
A mooncup (if you don't know what it is fellas, don't ask!)
DVD - Take That Ultimate Tour
Say Anything on video
Two metal iPod skins

Bargains every one!

I've purchased fabric, toys, make-up, bedspreads, shower curtains, area rugs, kids clothes, DVDs, jewelry and probably other things I can't remember.

My husband buys comics, Lionel trains and duck decoys.

CD's mostly, new and used.  I've bought a few rock concert tee shirts. I originally bought my shirts at the live concerts, but wore them out and was happy to find a couple of the exact same ones on Ebay.  Springsteen, Tom Petty, Boston, Aerosmith to name a few I've bought on Ebay. I bought a battery recharger for my Sony camcorder.

I don't actually buy a whole lot (and half the time I want to, I get outbid, lol), but I always like browsing at vintage electronics, music/movie collections, memorabilia from celebrities I like and pretty much anything generally else that comes to mind.

After all, at its core, it's just a worldwide online Goodwill store. 8)

Son of a bitch!  Sell it on ebay.

My husband's squadron had an 80s party for Christmas, so I bought an awful dress on ebay.  I'm going to sell it now.  I've got to post a picture of this thing.... ;D

I don't buy lots of stuff on ebay.  Mostly it has been books by Elsie Oxenham to fit in with the series of hers I am collecting.

Plotting to buy a Handy Dandy Notebook for the boy. He keeps pretending to write on his hand when he watches Blue's Clues, so I guess I should invest in one for him.

I just threw one out because my littlest one never used it :-\\  Make sure you get one that you can just wipe-off....

Yeah, he's really into that show. It's a shame that they're starting to get rid of the stuff out of stores. I manage to find him books and stuff at Border's, but you know how expensive that place is. :P

Now to decide which notebook to get him: Steve's, Joe's, the nighttime one, or the 10th anniversary one. ::)

Yeah, those are the ones I was looking at. They sell the paper ones for cheaper, but I'd rather get him something he could use for as long as he's into it.
