What was the best purchase you've made on ebay?
A few years ago, I got a BCBG designer dress (retails $200+) for $50 including shipping, and just recently I bought another BCBG dress for $30 including shipping.
I think these are awesome deals... I'm a fashion fiend, and being able to save so much money on stuff that I see in Vogue is amazing to me.
Have you found any really awesome finds?

Hello! I am not really running after all brands but I have purchased a lot of things that I even couldn't find in my country! E-bay has so much things to offer, it's really surprising sometimes what can you find there!!! Happy mylotting!!!

You got a great buy! I just got my son a Tonk Hawk coat which retails for $135 dollars for $40 plus free shipping! I love ebay but you really got to watch the shipping costs. @Vikkyd (198)

I use ebay a lot and have found some pretty awesome stuff there... The sad part is that I live in Finland so even the cheapest possible items are not that cheap anymore because of the shipping cost... But sure cheaper than buying new stuff :D I also use a Finnish alternative for ebay and get much cheaper postage there. My best find on ebay might be a leather jacket I bought just a couple weeks ago, it cost about $80, including postage of about $50 :D See, sucks to live in Finland ;) But still, the jacket was brand new, of good quality, exactly the kind of model I wanted, real leather, the perfect fit etc. So it would've been really awesome even if I would've had to spend a couple hundred bucks more on it :D I think $80 is a really good price for almost any new leather jacket, you'd have to pay about $300-$400 for a similar jacket here in Finland and you probably wouldn't have even gotten something as good. Even a bad condition used jacket of the same model would cost at least $150 in the Finnish alternative for ebay, I checked :D But sometimes the "finnish ebay" is even better than the US one... A couple months ago I bought a pair of cowboy boots from the finnish alternative and paid about $60 for them (postage included). I think that's really cheap considering that the same boots cost around 400 bucks new, and these were in a really good shape, although used. I know there are lots of boots on ebay that you could get with $30-$40 but the postage would be at least $20. So in cheaper stuff ebay might not always be good. I know, boots are in pretty much the same price category as leather jackets but these were used :D
