A Johnny Cash Autograph for $5.00. Swooped in at the last second.

MSD · 07-09-2008, 04:49 PM

A bottle of Himalaya by Creed at a too-good-to-be-true price. The price should have tipped me off that it was fake.

ironman · 07-09-2008, 05:49 PM

Directors cut of Payback, 1.99 including shipping

RetroGunslinger · 07-09-2008, 08:02 PM

A copy of Starfox for the N64. I lost my old one.

newtx · 07-09-2008, 08:04 PM

How boring but it was flea medicine for the cats. Saved me about 45% and the fleas are in the great flea land where they feel no pain.

Plummie · 07-10-2008, 01:52 AM

A vintage bird painting from someone locally. Went and picked it up to save on shipping.

mixedmedia · 07-10-2008, 02:34 AM

Last thing I bought:

A Lucky Brand Bob Dylan t-shirt that I would never pay retail for.

Last thing I sold:

An excellent read.

A pair of sunglasses.

Psycho Dad · 07-10-2008, 03:56 AM

32gb iPod Touch. Got a great deal on it, too--saved about $100 off retail.

Eweser · 07-10-2008, 05:12 AM

new in package Rugby 08 for PS2...didn't save any money, but I couldn't find it anywhere else

ryfo · 07-10-2008, 01:24 PM

tuppaware paid 13 bucks so I saved about 16 bucks and didnt have to play games with people at a party

MiSo · 07-10-2008, 09:04 PM

i lost my cell phone and didn't have insurance.
so i bought this.
touch screen phone.
it's a Cect P168. it's a chinese phone.

now, the last item i lost.... pissed me off.
i usually wait until there's like 15 seconds left before i bid. it was a video gaming chair. the bid was at about $52. i put in my bid for $110, but the seller wouldn't take my bid because something about my paypal wasn't linked to my ebay name. It's the first time i've ever seen that message. the item ended up selling at $102. *so someone had the same idea as me and bid at the last second.
now, i dont know if he put more than $110, but i had a shot if it wasn't for that dang message.

Willravel · 07-10-2008, 09:18 PM

Aftermarket performance chip, $35 + S&H.

Milkyway · 07-10-2008, 09:21 PM

I got a Waring blender, paid $15 for it including shipping, that is a bargin, let me tell you. Awesome, love it.

RetroGunslinger · 07-10-2008, 09:32 PM

I just won the DVDs for Bleed and Inside, which is a new French horror film that's being praised by just about everyone.

I kind of promised myself that I'd stop buying random DVDs on Ebay... I guess I'm succumbing to my addiction.

It's only because the seller wouldn't be covered under the Paypal Seller Protection Policy if they accepted your winning bid. They must have a feature to reject those bids automatically now. The seller probably had some bad experiences.

ratbastid · 07-11-2008, 05:20 AM

It's not like it's hard to verify your PayPal account. With all the fraud that happens on Ebay, it's the only way sellers can know you're a real person and not a Nigerian scammer.

Poppinjay · 07-11-2008, 05:50 AM

I've been scanning Ebay for old IBM 5651 PCs. They cost about $50 to ship, thanks to them weighing about the same as a boat anchor, and serving pretty much the same function.

I know it's wrong, but they're selling for like, $30.

SexyCat · 07-11-2008, 06:34 AM

My husband bought all 3 Prince of Persia games for ps2, paid $30 for all 3, including shipping.

BogeyDope · 07-11-2008, 01:34 PM

I recently sold a monitor.

Too bad it hasn't arrived to the buyer, and he's threatening legal action against me. I'm never trusting the USPS again...

highthief · 07-11-2008, 04:47 PM

A Timex Ironman Sleek watch for my wife.

Force everything into an auction. Your opponents will go broke the first time around the board and you'll get everything the second time. You can also scam them by choosing the wrong person on the "To whom am I speaking?" screen and forcing $1 trades.

ottopilot · 07-11-2008, 09:02 PM

New faceplate housing, cover, and keypad for my trusty Moto E1 ROKR/E398. $13.99... No big conquest, but it looks like new (works great too).
