I'm a regular seller on ebay and I know there have been times in the past where I've had to sell things for extremely low prices - the occasional Playstation 2 game for ten cents, and other assorted things like that. But I also know that there have been occasions where as a buyer, I've got some really amazing deals, and been the winning bidder on some cheap items. So I was wondering, what are some of the bargains that you have gotten on ebay over the years? What's the best bargain you've ever bought? How much did you pay? Were you happy with your purchase? Share some stories here! :)

I think my best deal was a book for college. My student store was asking about $190 for it and I got it for $10. As a poor college student I was thrilled. I'm bidding on a necklace right now that is hard to find. I've got it for $1.40 right now, but I'm dreading the moment someone else finds it and I have to fight for it. Lets just say I'm checking ebay every couple hours. Once the day comes...it will be every few minutes! lol

I know that lots of things look like there being sold cheap,but the shipping is very high. I know someone that sells stuff cheap but makes her money on the shipping thats added. I don't think this is a good way to do business. I thought I was getting a good deal from China but it only worked for a few months.It was a poor quality item not what I was expecting

I have never bought things on ebay! Someone just told me that they were kind of disappointed there! Thus, I was scared! Have a great day!

Had great experience with ebay before but lately I bid and item stated free shipping and double checked with the shipping table below and confirmed that shipping is free . I won and when I tried to pay but I can't because there is this shipping fee for $25.

I collect lingerie. Each item has to be different. I don't like picking up simular items. But one day, I bidded on a black silk dressing gown. I thought it was only one. Reason why I thought is was one because of I didn't read the discription properly. But still I remember I was happy with the price of it. What the exact price was, I can't remember. So, any way, I got the dressing gown delivered and to my surprise, I got 2. I went back into the auction to give feed back for the services, and decided to read the discription and told me I had bidded on 2 dressing gowns. So I gave one to my sister for a birthday present.
