    This thread is an oxymoron. There is no good deal on ebay, just dreamer sellers, and morons with cash to burn. Just because someone sells something at 100 times what its worth, doesn't mean its 'good' haha

    I picked up a cloth trim insert for a VP centre console for 99cents, which i thought was a good deal.

    90% of 'good deals' i get on ebay end up being shit, ie broken, damaged, not what i expected etc. yet i keep on going back. soon enough i think i'll stop buying second hand stuff altogether - i just haven't had many good experiences with used items.

    I picked up a VZ Calais interior light/sunglasses holder, in GREY, for 10 bux. Looks brand new, not a mark on it. The wreckers wanted 150 for a Cream one (apparently grey is rare as hens teeth) and it didnt have individual switches, and it was filthy.

    Likewise.

    A 99cent mirror switch ended up in a 2 way dispute (him disputing i didn't pay, and me disputing he didn't send after i payed) and was dragged out for months.

    Nah, paypal are wankers and wont approve my bank account, so i told them where to go.

    It shouldn't have mattered, i gave the guy the recipt number (as i do with all transactions) aswell as a copy of my bank statement with the transaction listed, the minute the auction ended, yet he was still a moron about it.

    yeah? well i bought a guitar for $600 and paid by bank deposit (which i don't normally do) and it never showed if i had used paypal i probably could have got my money back

  15. Default

    yeah i only use paypal or COD. i had a 0 feedback person tell me to deposit the money into their bank account, and i told them that they can either take cash on delivery or keep the item. i ended up getting the item anwway, but doubt i would have if i deposited the money into their account.

    lol on 2nd thought, should have been "Good deals you've won/bought off ebay" the new title suggests it is 1 item

    Can't say i have ever really found a bargain or "good deal" on Egay. It's just good to buy some harder to find items. But they are usually expensive anyway.

    I got a 5ft fishtank with stand, hood, filter, heater, a couple fish and a few other bits and pieces all for $200. Was an awesome deal, the reason it was so cheap was the location- I had to drive a couple hours up north to pick it up.

    Picked up a guitar I always wanted about a year ago at a bargain price when the aus dollar was high from the US. Love that thing.

    My old man is forever picking up old ford parts from the US for his GT. A lot of the mustang, mercury etc parts are interchangeable.

    Definitely a lot of bargains on ebay if you are patient.
