My name is Christa and I'm an eBay addict . . .



I mostly buy. Usually nothing too expensive.

I used to sell, but my breaking point was when I sold a DVD player for 20 bucks, charged 10 bucks shipping and then the shipping actually ended up costing 20 bucks! Plus after buying the box & packing materials, I came out with ZERO profit. I basically gave it away. That's the last time I've sold anything.

You can get quite a few good deals though . . . but like you said before, you've really gotta watch your auctions to the last second!

I LOVE the lamp! I'm a real sucker for antiques and I just love lamps like that. I'm STILL depressed over a lamp that I could have bought for 20 bucks in the town I used to live in at a flea market. Why didn't I buy it? I have no idea!

edit: One good experience we had selling: Hubby's PS2 broke and we sold it "broken" for over 80 bucks! I was amazed that someone would actually buy it broken . . . goes to show you, people will buy anything!
