The fees are way too high, selling gold sovereigns I made next to no profit.

I've bought probably a couple dozen things off of e-bay, and so far I've never been burned.
Uness you count that time the cocksucker stole my credit card number and charged some shit to me and I had to cancel my credit card and hunt him down and kill him. Other than that, it's all been good.

When I need something kind of pricey, and don't need it RIGHT THIS SECOND, I Ebay. I selected 'occasionally' instead of 'Ebay Maniac' because although I love Ebay, I try to stay away from it. The bastard sucks the money out of my bank account like a crack ho trying to make a buck.

I've had ONE problem through Ebay so far. I ordered a cheap UPS (battery backup for a computer) and when I got it, the damned thing was all broken up inside... pieces of plastic were in the box and you could hear it rattling around. The box was undamaged. The people were shits about it, but finally agreed to give me back my money AND pay for return shipping. Then they pitched a fit when I gave them a 'neutral' rating. 78

Gross!! I hope you got a refund on that!

It did remind me of one more... slightly negative experience I had.

I purchased a carpet 'spot cleaner' (like a Green Machine) which said it was 'very lightly used' and the product picture showed one that looked like it was new.

The one I received was obviously used and the tank was all scungy and dirty... I cleaned it up and kept it though. Oh well.

ROFL!!!!

Wow, I never realized you needed so many images of a bra (being worn!) to decide whether or not you should buy it. I bet she sells 'dirty panties' too. 28

This stuff gives crap away. I've used it to give away stuff that can actually be fixed but too big to sell on Ebay. You should see the riff-raff that came to my door for the lawn equipment!

JB, Craig's list probably has a bigger fencing operation than Ebay does.

I love me some Freecycle! Smiley_emoticons_biggrin

That's better than CraigsList. There's women on there selling their "dirty" panties. They even let you say how you want them dirtied. For shits & giggles I responded to one and said that I wanted them stuffed up her pussy with my cock used as a ramrod while she cums. She didn't go for it. Smiley_emoticons_wink

I'm surprised she didn't... and if you had seen her, you probably wouldn't have been able to get a boner anyway. IF it was even a female.

I made a small fortune from selling old Games Workshop boardgames that are long out of print and skateboard parts and spares.
I made some good purchases of rare comic books and uncut American and Italian horror films, some people really don't know the true value of what they are selling they also lack the skills of writing and composing a decent item description. I've bought things and sold them on for double the price just by writing a decent and comprehensive item description.

It's hard to believe that this clown makes fun of buying and collecting coins.

No, not really. Both of your hobbies are equally boring and ridiculous.

Collecting colonial coins is NOT boring or ridiculous. It's educational, historical, interesting, and back then the runs were more manual so you can often tie coins to specific sources of metal, people, drama, and historical significance during a time when our Nation was first forming.

Oh, well that makes it sound a LOT more interesting.

Yes, the money trail during that key time in history is about 100 times more interesting than what crap you buy on Ebay.

I bought a case of waterbed conditioner last night for 14 the price I would pay for 3 bottles. Sweet deal to know that I won't have to buy this stuff again for 6 years.

You are even more boring than my dad when he starts talking about his krugerrands and proof krugerrands.

He also collects old Victorian medicine bottles.

At least comic books and horror films are fun.

I got some Alfani cashmere lined leather gloves for $9.99 which were on sale at Macy's for $38. I'm pleased.
