    Default Ebay and phone accessories

    I mentioned in another thread that I recently upgraded my phone to a Motorola v3 Razor. Anyway when I was buying the people at the phone store wanted to sell me a car charger for $17.95. I remembered that my dd told me about a cover for my phone on Ebay for lots less than I could buy it for in the store. So I said I'd pass. I came home got on Ebay and ordered an accessory package that had the car charger, a travel charger, a cover for the phone, a belt clip, a cd with wallpaper and ring tones (which is useless b/c I don't have the drivers for the cable), a usb cable all for about the price of the car charger with not much for S&H. I also got nice cover for my phone for $5 including S&H so don't forget to look at Ebay when you need some phone accessories .

    That's what I did. I think it was way overpriced at the phone store.

    Its usually batteries and electronics that are made in china that are to be questioned.If we hadnt of been home that laptop would have burnt down my house.Was very scarey,wouldnt wish that on anyone
    We still shop on ebay but we read the fine print
    It is nice to get something much cheaper then what the stores are asking
    I got a dvd set that was over 75$ in the store for 15$ brand new,I was so happy

    True, I always look at Craigstlist, CheapCycle, Freecycle and then ebay... I am frugalist so I dont like to pay for things full price
