I'm sure some of you guys have bought some items off of eBay.

What are some of the things you've been able to get?

Here are items that I own:

I've only bought one thing on eBay - a paperback copy of The Other Side of the Mountain Part II by E.G. Valens, which has been LOOOOOOONG out of print. My brother, on the other hand, has about 10 zillion car brochures that he got from eBay. I guess you can tell which one of us is the eBay freak.

All sorts of crap. DVDs, a Walkman, a suitcase, clothes, books, a DVD recorder, a Wii, entertainment memorabilia, etc. My dad bought a car.

mostly studio stills (like my avatar) from the 4 films john payne & maureen o'hara starred in together. other than that, dvds - i get better prices than the stores even w/ shipping costs included, books as well for the same reason.

I've gotten various items... marbles, magazines, books, clippings, etc. But I still have it all and love it... but I ran up a pretty hefty bill when I was a young teenager, so I haven't bought anything in years!

I've bought some DVDs on there, a couple VHS tapes, clothes, model railroad items, a wallet, and a couple books.

My sister has bought quite a few articles of baby clothes on eBay. She's gotten some very nice clothes dirt cheap.

My sister is Mrs. Bargain Hunter herself.

I went on a spree in 2005 - bought quite a few episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Full episodes, not those terrible "Collector's sets". I probably bought at least 30-35 total. I'm probably about to purchase a couple of misc. auto parts on there (need to make a couple of minor repairs, don't want to deal with a junkyard)

Seth, my grandmother had a couple of Johnny Carson comedy albums on vinyl. I'll see if we still have them around, if they are something you don't have already. Let me know.

Plenty.

My last purchase was an early 1980s Marvel TV tray, exactly like the ones that my sibs got as very little kids (my parents bought trays for them at least two to three years before I was born).

I've been on eBay over 10 years, so I've bought tons. The most recent buys were signed photos of Melissa Leo, Viola Davis, and Margaret Cho. I also recently bought a Laverne & Shirley cast photo.

JamesG · 02-21-2009, 05:57 AM

I only bought one thing from E-Bay so far, that is PlayStation's Silent Hill.

At the time I had to have this game because I was a fan of the series but the first game on the original PlayStation was so hard to track down.

On a side note, I don't see how or why this game never got updated. They remade Resident Evil, they remade Metal Gear Solid, they remade Tomb Raider; I thought this one would have surely been updated. If it was fans could play the series in whole while not being thrown back at how badly aged and badly glitched the graphics are of the original.

So the original Silent Hill was a must-own for me and I had to resort to E-Bay to pick it up.

MonarC · 02-21-2009, 10:28 AM

I've bought clothes, games, tools ect. Always great deals.

browneyes106 · 02-21-2009, 03:53 PM

I have bought rare CD's, Wii, Wii Sports game and 49ers mini helmet.

Nail Polish, I have been on ebay almost everyday this month buying nail polish LOL. I have bought over $60 in nail polish, it's shameful. I literally have over 70 bottles of Nail polish sitting in my bathroom.
