    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!

    My first ebay experience was dumb. I saw a metal bed on there for 99 cents. Stupid me didn't check out the shipping cost, which was 199.00!!! Whoops! I won it, but then it came as JUST the headboard and footboard...no rails. My dad emailed the people and they said that is all that is included...I got screwed. But I learned a lesson! Check the shipping costs!!!

    ROFLOL! Good one! That's one thing I'm sure I'd mess up is the shipping and handling fees. I have a terrific antique (huge) Folk Art cows head that I got appraised several years ago. I found it in a pile of junk upside down in the mud, and took it home. The auction appraisal stunned me when I was told it's valued between $800.00 and $1,200.00!

    Fox-Gal, thanks for the pricing tip!

    Chocolate Puppy .... that song was too cute, and sooooo true!

    QSA ... what a deal.... sell that thing!!!

    Kristl ... I've seen many items listed like that ... I think it is very misleading!!!

    Well, people I screwed up royally again myself. Last night I jumped too quickly on a fireplace screen that was ending soon. I thought I was so lucky until (after having won the bid) found out it is way too small to even come close to covering my fireplace opening! I guess the kitties will have a very ornate Baroque style litter pan screen!

    Don't worry Kim...I will sell that head someday. It's only going to go up in value, so I'll wait till I'm desperate for $$$$$$$$$ and then it will go.

    Welcome to eBay Anonymous!

    I have been hooked before but now I limit myself to auto bid. Those last minute price wars get too exciting for me
    I did "win" some great Christmas gifts and I like the "Buy it now" things. I used to buy and sell paperbacks on half.com and made a good profit. (now my books go to bookcrossing.com )

    Kim, the lamp is gorgeous and looks perfect for your house!!

    Yes, I tend to have somewhat of an Ebay problem at times. Sometimes, I'm bidding on dozens of things at once, then I go for months and don't bid at all ... thank goodness!

    I LOVE Ebay, because I live in the middle of nowhere, and there is NO shopping here. So anything even slightly out of the ordinary, basically not carried by Walmart, is not going to be found in this sad little town.

    *blush* I don't go to EBay anymore... Got carried away when I first bought my condo. It was a lot of fun though. I completed a collection of titles by a favorite author, among other things!

    I love ebay. I haven't bought anything lately though. It is so addictive. Awhile back I went on a huge shopping spree buying Home Interior figurines. I was so hooked!!! Spent a fourtune too! Which reminds me...does anyone have any home interior figurines they want to get rid of?...LOL
