It's often fun just to look at the stuff there.

Yeah, sometimes it can be interesting/amusing to check out whats on offer. I've never bought anything off ebay, though.

I've never bought or sold anything off of eBay, but sometimes I like to just look around and see what is for sale.

I did until I got screwed out of $1122.50. Luckily, since I used PayPal, I was able to get a refund of $2.34 from PayPal. Thank God I did it the safe way!

[medea]

yeah I have bought a few items on ebay and have sold some stuff on half.com, but I dont do it very often, mainly because it is so addicting.

[idkew]

i go in spirts. it is fun, but a lot of work to sell.

70+ positives though.

[yzedf]

I guess I am like most others... browsing around but not buying or selling.

I looked once for a friend, but due to the wait ended up cancelling the order. Decided to go ahead and purchase it from amazon.com.

eBay is great. I am not doing this for self promotion, but if you want to see a good seller see my ME page at:

http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/adzoox

Safari users, note that ME pages with lots of HTML don't render text tags very well. Still, it all shows up. Page looks great in IE or Netscape.

I've bought some stuff off ebay, haven't sold anything though. ebay is fun, but sort of addicting. :)

I don't know whether to be sad that you had to buy a friend for yourself, or amazed that you can get them from amazon.com! ;) :D

Ive bought 2 comps from eBay. I got my PC for sooooooo cheap.

Buying PCs is great on eBay. Buying macs arent. There's a high
demand for macs on eBay. It is cheeper to go for a refurbed one.

I've never seen refurbs that are cheaper than whats going on eBay. Beige G3s are about $150 and usually are $100 more on the refurb sites. There are a lot of good machine going for dirt cheap out there, especially if you are looking to pick up a server or an MP3 machine. 7300/7500/7600/8500 can all be found for under $50 (then again, the shipping on these is usually $30 or so).
It's a great place for parts (got some rubber feet for my G3 for $1).

Some good stuff some bad stuff. But most the people are honest. But agree it's addicting

I've used it since it was about but a baby. Over the years, I've got 741 positive feedbacks (joint account w/my sister). I've never had a problem with it. Just make sure that if you bid on a persons auction, you research them thoroughly and for laptops, e-mail their past auction inners and ask about the seller and always remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it's most likely a CD telling you how to get a pb for free ;)

I've gotten some weird stuff on there, Japanese imports, original posters for Strange Brew, Univac IBM cards and spare parts, etc...and other important items - Oh, an original Transformer 1984 t-shirt and matching socks! Bojah!

God Bless eBay.

I run several eCommerce sites using eBay... one of the most visited sites on the internet; if you want to run a business these days you need to hit that market.
