What do you buy? I'm always interested to know what others buy and get great deals on on ebay...Do tell please.

The thing I bust most often is coupons. I also buy Mary Kay off Ebay. I use 2 Mary Kay products on a daily basis, and I can get them for way cheaper on Ebay then from a Mary Kay rep. I've also gotten some clothes, jewelry, a dehumidfier, etc. Kind of a hodgepodge of stuff.

As a general rule, if I'm looking for just about anything I check ebay to see if I can get it there cheaper. Sometimes I can, sometimes not. I've bought everything from electronics to home decor to books to shoes there, and have been pleased every time.

I usually buy cookbooks, lol.

We buy most of our books, CDs and DVDs from Half.com which is part of EBay. I'm not much into the bidding process, although we did buy our popup camper off of Ebay about a year ago.

I have gotten clothing for myself and dd on ebay. Some of the other things we get on e bay are craft supplies (I bought my kiln on e bay), books, c.d.s, and boots. I used to get a lot of American Girl stuff on e bay but Alex has pretty much outgrown that now.

I've gotten tons of things over the years. Electronics (a laptop, cell phone, webcam), several of my wedding things came from ebay (wedding gown, veil, sixpence, bridesmaids dresses, embriodered hankies for the mothers), books, clothes, craft supplies, christmas gifts, jewelry (never anything very expensive), a painting. I really love ebay! I price compare on there too. Oh I also have gotten pet supplies from there.

just this evening, i purchased a marvel ironman t shirt for dh...which came with 10 free comics.(19.40 with postage & ins)...I thought that it was a good deal....however...I had thought that dh would normally wear a size large....only to find that some of his t's in the closet are sized XL...horrors!....anyway, the weirdest thing happened(without me having to tell the seller about my mistake)...the guy who sold me the shirt/comics had emailed me an appology stating that the ironman shirt was actually an XL and that he would be sending me the XL shirt...plus another shirt(fantastic4) to make up for the mistake along with the comics...so wow...2 new tshirts and 10 comics for 19.40(inc. shipping & ins).

We also check ebay before buying it anywhere else, just in case... you never know what you will find.

I looked for back to school supplies for my bigger J , but I couldn't find anything great....

I also just sold a bunch of his chapter books that he finished reading....

I'm always shopping for fabric, victorias secret stuff and antique dresses but I've yet to buy any. Ebay is way too fun!~

**Early Bird** · 10-18-2006, 05:02 PM

Stickers! (I think the seller I use is named 'great service'). He's always given free shipping if you buy $12 worth at a time.
Batteries -- like for the cell phone; or camera batteries.
Brand new Braun electric toothbrushes and replacement brushes.
Vacuum bags.
Prismacolor pencils.
Addi knitting needles (from jeff wonderland's ebay store)
Yarn from colourmartuk.
Sometimes we buy Beanie Babies -- one seller had $2 beanies, with $3 for shipping on the first, but $1 shipping for each additional. We bought a lot of beanies for Easter baskets that year.
Purses. I have a black Tignanello that I was the only bidder on.

I am going to look for charm bracelet charms -- ebay prices seem good.

I just ordered some speciality furniture polish (Bri-Wax, discovered through Meredith's blog www.likemerchantships.com ) from an ebay seller.

**Katybird** · 10-18-2006, 06:41 PM

I purchase books that I have trouble findng locally or that that I can't find at an Amazon used book seller cheaper. DH buys things for his RC car hobby.

**Darlene** · 10-19-2006, 07:20 AM

Just bought some new replacement heads for our Oral b electric toothbrush. You can buy a 3 pack of replacement heads for $20 in the store & I got 3 pkgs for the same price on ebay.
