    Default Ebay alternative??

    Is there any other worth wild sites as an alternative to ebay?? been looking for a few things online on ebay and the trading post lately and theres been little to raise an eyebrow.

    OZtion Auctions - Online auction site, buy & sell iPods, iPhones, GPS, laptops, Nokia mobiles and more at bargain prices.

    Depending on what it is you can get things cheaper on here compared to world wide sites as this is AU only. But saying that, most people realise they wont get as much as eBay so they put their prices up higher...But still has some good stuff

    thats what i noticed actually, a few items i recongised on ebay are cheaper than oztrion.

    Im mainly chasing a trail bike & parts, i managed to score a honda xr350 for 425 bucks in good condition, the only problem was when the bloke test drove it before i came over he stacked it and rootd the side casing lol

    oztion may be worth a go, there are more sellers than buyers there and 90% of the crap on there is just that, cheap rubbish that most people would throw out, people just list there because its free. I've only sold one thing there in about 2 years compared to hundreds of sales on ebay. There are a few others around really not worth bothering with probably the next biggest one would be lleyton and Bec Hewitts E-swap site which is also a waste of time.

    I'd stick with ebay, trading post and actually rather than look at other classified sites go sign up a to a few dirt bike forums and have a look through their for sale forums. Or even better look call up a few bike wreckers.

    amazon has everything even groceries, the problem is tring to find a seller to post to oz, books, cd's, dvd's and some other items no problem everything else can be difficult and expensive!
    I ordered some metallica merchandise for $110 postage was quoted later at $89.50. I cancelled the order, I ordered similar items from a sellers website and postage was $24.
    Nobody wants to play with me
