I shop on ebay all the time! I buy a lot of my scrubs & almost all my Barbies & Kiddles there. It's a good place to buy video games too. I think the last thing I bought there was some Walter Payton stuff for Kevin.
I do buy...but I don't do the auctions really...I've found that people get into 'bidding frenzies' and pay more than the item is worth I do like the 'Buy it Now' feature though.
I got my last item earlier today...I got an ionic air purifier and I love it!! Before that...I got a Christmas album that's not available on cd...we copied it, ripped, and burned a copy to send to my sister...it was an album of Christmas music that we know from our childhood...oh...and I sent her the MP3 copies via e-mail.
In other words...ebay can be very good as long as the consumer is smart!
