Guitar amp, $100. Autographed 1980's Edmonton Oiler hockey pucks, $60. Case of Italian Soccer Cards, $25. Those are the major ones. Had plenty of smaller purchases over the years. But my eBay sales balance it all out. Title: Re: EBAY, how much have you blown?? Post by: Krispy Kreme on September 23, 2006, 12:55:31 PM No less than $1000, all on GNR stuff. Back in the day, trading was not big, no internet sites for downloading, so ebay was the only way to start a collection, and prices were high ($10-20 per CD-R, $40-45 for silver disc). Yes, it is hard to believe now. But that was then, and if you're a fan, you're a fan.
Also got some T-shirts and other shit, most of which I can't wear anymore because they shrunk ( ;) Title: Re: EBAY, how much have you blown?? Post by: Bill 213 on September 23, 2006, 01:11:06 PM I've probably blown about 5 g's on ebay in the past 5 years. Lot of LP's and Box Sets.....some clothes...I always try to look there first for electronics. I've also made about 5 g's just selling stuff on there occasionally so it evens out. I had a lot of old wrestling memorabilia from the 80's when I used to be really into that and that stuff sold for prices that even I was awed by. I had a pair of autographed Bret Hart pink sunglasses that someone paid $500 for.
Title: Re: EBAY, how much have you blown?? Post by: SLCPUNK on September 23, 2006, 01:13:21 PM Not too much. Right now I'm looking at GnR Tickets and the prices are way too high. These scalpers must have deep pockets because it appears they are going to take a loss if they hold these prices.
Title: Re: EBAY, how much have you blown?? Post by: spacebrain5000 on September 23, 2006, 01:32:05 PM cheap CDs!!! are a great untapped resource of Ebay. Everything is crazy cheap. Yes, I have blown a lot of money on ebay. But I've also gotten a lot more stuff than I would have been able to buy in the retail world.
The only problem is you just always keep finding new awesome stuff you have to have!! I used to get shirts like crazy, motley, guns, skid row, david bowie, rock n roll paraphernalia. posters too. now I buy mostly CDs. and DVDs. last few cds I've gotten on ebay ---> Buckethead- cuckoo clocks of hell, kenna - new sacred cow (fucking amazing CD by the way) and MJ- Bad, Our Lady peace - Naveed, David Bowie - Diamond Dogs. A lot of them with a 99 cent bid. Title: Re: EBAY, how much have you blown?? Post by: Poof! on September 23, 2006, 01:46:09 PM I've been an eBay member for 7 1/2 years, and I don't even want to think about how much money I've spent on there... :nervous:
Title: Re: EBAY, how much have you blown?? Post by: MR.BROWNSTONE on September 23, 2006, 06:47:21 PM I only brought one think on EBAY a few years ago and it was a Guns N' Roses VHS. It was the Garden Of Eden. It think it was around $30 I paid for it. I never got to watch it cause it's from the United Kingdom. :( It's still cool to have.
