eBay

[AngieDoogles]

I don't think there's a rule against posting about eBay. Besides, I think admin forgot about us. lol

I bid on stuff sometimes, but it's pretty random. That's where I get my cameras and I'm also randomly checking on the GPS system I want, but I'm not going to bid on that until the rest of my financial aid money comes in and I pay off rent for the year. I always feel so much safer about purchases after I've done that.

Anyway, good luck! I hope you win what your wanting at a really good price!

I'm going to start looking for a GPS system after I get the phones. I have to look them up in Consumers' Reports first. I've heard Garmin is the best at the moment. I want one that talks and has a larger screen.

Janet, which did you finally decide on after you researched them?

I'm always looking for something on eBay. I do the comparison shopping and you definitely have to be careful that you're not paying more there than you would elsewhere. I also never buy designer stuff on eBay anymore.

I just ordered 3 boxes of 100 brand name wee wee pads for $22 each. She's charging me $15 for combined shipping, and it goes to a dog rescue place. That's a good deal!

I've never sold there, although I have plenty to get rid of!

I haven't bought one yet Judy, ended up getting Ricky more things for his Wii game system. But, from what research I did I will most likely get a Garmin. I Garmin was first and then TomTom.



Thanks Marilyn for all the information. I just may have to give ebay another try sometime. It does sound a bit interesting.

I looked on Consumer's last night and those two seem to be the best. eBay is a little confusing - I just glanced at what they have. I'll have to go through it better.

I won the phones! Panasonic expndable with 2 phones. I got it for a decent price
and the warranty is still good for one year.

That's great, Judy!!!! It's always exciting to get a good price on e-Bay.

Janet, if you're going to sell on e-Bay one way to do research is to check the prices of items (like you're wanting to sell) that have already sold. To find this area click on the line that says "Advanced Search" to the right of the "Search"button. It will take you to a page that has a lot of blanks to fill in. On the second line down click the square that says "Completed listings only" and enter on the top line what you're looking for. Auctions that have already finished can be viewed here. Then "sort" by the highest price and find out what they did in their auction that made it sell so well and do that in your own auction. Check out where they listed it and what their description says. I hope that this helps. If not call me when you get ready to do this and I'll help you.

Wow, great information, Diana. I didn't know how to do this. I always search and see what is currently listed to see if they are selling, if so for how much and how they are listed. Did not realize you could search and see completed listings. Learn something every day!!!!
