Slim's* CD 0097... it's been out-of-print for years and it's the only way I could get it. Hadda pay a pretty penny for it, too.
* Not the rapper... Slim is an English singer who I think is really amazing.

I've only bought a few things on eBay, but the best thing so far was a copy of the Giant-Size X-Men #2 (from 1975, with pencils by Neal Adams).
I have two things:
my new snowboard, M3 discord, for $150, retail over $350
Seasons 1-3 initial D

I just bought a Kraftwerk poster for 99 cents off eBay. But the best thing I ever got was my BMW.
Mac OS 8.1. It's the only thing I've ever bought on eBay. If you count local auction site Trade Me, then I'm going to have to think a bit harder - possibly Halo.
JBL Creature II speakers or Bluetooth Apple Keyboard. I don't buy much off ebay and when I do, its usually expensive stuff for my car.
512 MB stick of RAM for my PB. I got it for a great price and it really made a difference to the speed of my PB. 
This is hard, but an original pressing of Lucia Cifarelli's LAND OF VOLCANOES CD. The pressing after that has completely redesigned artwork and an extra track.
I also got a ATI 9200 graphics card for my powermac G4 from ebay.

My best thing definitely was my clarinet. I got a great deal on a used clarinet that was in great condition. But I guess my only other purchase wasn't so bad, either. It was a used GameCube with extra controllers and a few games. It was in great condition, too.
My PowerBook G3 WallStreet:
250MHz
320MB RAM
4GB HD
CD
...to bad the screen died, I parted it out on eBay.

out of curiousity, what did that run you? I am in the market for my pismo, as it were...xsedrinam said:
as to OP, my Optoma lcd projector. Bought quite a few years ago, when I had more confidence in Ebay...got quite a good deal (saved about $500 on store-bought).
My PowerMac G4 350 Sawtooth 5 years ago. I upgraded it to 1 GHz and I still have it. It's great- got it for $900 at the time.
Duff-Man says...I have bought lots of stuff on eBay, mostly cheap or hard to find cd's but also little things like firewire cables, external drive enclosures...lots of really good deals - I don't think I can single any one out...oh yeah!
Korg Legacy Collection brand new in the box for $200 with the MS-20 controller -- sweet. Fits perfectly under my Dell 20" monitor and with the yellow jumper cables makes me look quite the mad scientist. Plus, I twiddle with the knobs while on boring phone calls...
Guy got it as a bonus with his $4,000 Triton keyboard and didn't want it. Sells for $599 or something regularly.
