    Today I Became an eBayer!

    Story
    I've been browsing eBay.co.uk for a while now. I finally decided that I couldn't live any longer without Medal of Honor Allied Assault for the PC. I didn't want to go out and buy it and have it cost me a lot, so I thought I'd find it on eBay. Lo and behold I found one that was going to end in 1hr 16mins and it was at £17. I waited until it was 10 minutes til the end, and then someone put a bid in and it was £18! So I waited until there were only 50 seconds left! Then I put a bid in for £19! I then refreshed the page a few times, and I had won in 50 seconds . So I paid £19 + £2.50 P+P for the game , what a bargain! Great condition too from what I saw in the picture, manual, 2CDs, box, etc. it's all there. The seller was quick to respond.


    So I became an eBayer! I plan to buy 100 CD-Rs and then 100 Jewel cases for them off of eBay soon too, that should be fun . I believe I'll be addicted to eBay within weeks, like filburt is/was

    Everyone check out eBay if you haven't yet, it really is great.

              eBay is only good for selling my crap. I just have a bad feeling about buying used items over the internet.

              I've made some good money selling older HDs, ZIP drives, CD-RW Drives, and a few older PCs and PC cases.

                I buy stuff you can only find on eBay such as collectibles, old games, baseball cards, etc. I never use it to purchase electronic/computer equipment.

                    I have been a ebay member for a while now, but I don't use it that much. I see people on there that have 20000+ sales. Geez, they pretty much run their business all off of ebay!

                      Actually they literally do; they make a living off selling stuff on eBay.

                        Well, I guess its a good way(and cheap) to get customers to actually view your merchandise, let alone bid on each item. I gotta try it someday

                            You do not have to have a Credit Card to buy items on eBay. You can simply bid on items with a Check, Money Order, Paypal, etc.

                              I've generated over $700 profit from selling on eBay. But I once paid for the stuff I sold, just forgot how much
