Haven't got the nerve up to try eBay yet. Have you had good results?

I love eBay. I have never had any trouble at all with any of the sellers (i only buy, dont sell) and all products have been exactly as advertised.

Granted, I am not on there buying expensive, rare, or collectable items that lend themselves to fraud.

I have had some incredible buys though. I got a China Cap (A giant stainless steel strainer) for $10 that retails from $80-100.

I buy my wife the "This Little Piggy" figurines for between $4 and $8 and they sell in the store for $25. And I got her the entire "Wedding" set for $26, and that has 10 pieces in it and retails for over $150!

My biggest score so far though has been a NADY wireless system for my guitar. For years I tried to find a used one cheap. But they were always $100 and up. I got mine for $56 delivered to my door, and the seller, as a surprise put a bag of pretzels from a local specialty shop in the box. And they were some of the best pretzels I have ever had.

eBay is great for finding things that you can not find anywhere else. If you want it, its on eBay.

Give it a try. I had 3 great successes this month on some collectibles. Read feedback and be cautious of those with none or no prior sales.

Ebay is fine, just know what you are looking for and be aware of the actual price of the object.
