I have almost eliminated E Bay from my purchasing source.
I go to Amazon and find the same thing for less, no tax and as a Prime member I usually do not have to pay shipping.
How many time do you see on E Bay where some idiot pays 10 to 15% more for an item that it costs in Walmart.
Ebay is a viable place to look for older and rarer things. Anything still being made will almost certainly be a better deal elsewhere, due to the Ebay overhead.
