my iPod (before they became trendy).

I've also gotten some great deals on rare/valuable comic books because of seller ignorance. I turned around and sold them to collectors for significantly more than I paid for them.

most recent was some skin cleaner for my son, was half the price on ebay. Besides that the only thing I buy on there is cell accesories.

Just bought 5 kayak spray skirts for our kayaks, my brother's, and a friend's. Combined shipping together and got them all, brand new, for $65. Retail, each one is around $65, so I saved $260.
