So who else is an ebay junkie?

[Paulson]

I basically scour ebay for what I hope to find are deals on iPod parts/broken iPods (even though half the people lie and stuff isn't a bargain anymore) and then after I spend money up the wazoo I resell repaired items.

I've only been burned seriously a few times (damn you paypal!).

Oh and a tip, AS-IS means it probably doesn't work, in fact it doesn't and you'll be pissed at yourself for a long time after you buy anything AS-IS. It's just like gambling at the casino, you only win every time hell freezes over (or someone shows that picture of the sign hell with ice on it)

I would scour ebay for hours on end when the deals were good, now it seems like everything goes for right at retail or more after shipping. In same cases its easier just to hit the store, you don't have to wait, deal with paypal, or worry about getting burned. I find the occasional deal from time to time, but those are few and very far between now.

True, but I find the joy of internet shopping is so I don't have to go to the store at all.

Me too, except years instead of months

IMHO, eBay is mostly a seller's market.

It's true... stuff sells incredibly well if you put it at a certain price....
