How many of the advertised things actually work? The stuff like cable descrambler plans with $10 in parts from Radioshack, building a 54" TV with plans and $10 in parts from Radioshack, etc? what kind of surprisingly useful merchandise have you bought? And why is the egay.com not allowed in a post?

They probably just as good as the 5000 MPG carburetors that used to be advertised in Popular Mechanics.

yeah, that descrambler probably falls on the same page as the "get better gas mileage by using our dual pronged spark plugs" and the "brand new 1.4 ghz dell for $200" BTW there is a lot of decent stuff on fleabay, but you just have to know the product you're buying VERY well. I fleabay a lot of stuff and all the people that win dont ask many stupid and fairly obvious questions.
