As some of you know, my favorite hobby after schools is going to EBay and seeing what people will spend obscene amounts of money on. Some of my best finds:

Triceratops Skull: $55,100
Chinese Marriage Bed: $15,000
Two Life-Sized Bronze Horses: $38,000
Diamond Studded Cat Collar: $199.99
1904 Olympics Booklet: $50,000
First Draft Nostradamus: $5,000,000
Brunette Barbie: $1,772.52
Bottle of Chateau Margaux Wine: $1,060.95
Genuine Prop Tie Fighter Helmet: $10,001

More to come :D

Now who would waste their hard earned money on that junk, unless you are rich that is.

E-Bay is awesome, I spend so much of my online time on there looking for good deals.

There are good deals there!? :D

I have gotten brand new, perfectly-working things there for half or a third of what they would cost in the store. I never thought I would ever be able to afford some of the stuff I've bought from there. I only get new items though; it's not all used products on E-Bay. You have to be careful though.

I would never buy anything online, its not very trust worthy...

There's a fraud protection program. You can't really lose.

what if you do it from another computer and make fake addresses, what then, the system cant be unbeatable, can it?

I'm not really in the mood to get specific. It works, believe me.

but how do i know i can trust you? ;)

I got most of every Dragonball, Dragonball Z, and Dragonball GT, as well as 6 TV specials and 16 Movies for under 25 dollars on DVD :D

It's actually very easy and the people are nice. I bought a Neverwinter Nights with a disc missing and the guy reimbursed me in full ;) . And everything else I bought was excellent deals. (a bg2 game for $15 :D )

but how do i know i can trust you? ;) </font>[/QUOTE]Someone who openly admits he's in love with K3 simply HAS to be trustworthy. :D

lol y did u never tell ur IRL friends about this 'hobby'? that's hilarious tho
!

The likes of eBay are really a saviourish thing for people who can´t afford anything. I have bought BG2+ToB for 27e (not cheap, but not bad either), Nascar 4 for 6e and sold antiqued Harvested for 10e. Great great.

More interesting than the stuff you find Frank is your reaction when you find one of these *items* :D You should post those too. ;)

EDIT - It wasn't mine. I just remembered, I sold it through Amazon.com Marketplace. I did sell some cloths, Star Trek books, and videos on ebay this summer though. Between eBay and Amazon sales I made @$800 this summer. ;)

HOLY CRAP!!! Er... I mean... Wow.... I have gotten a lot of 'em off kazaa cause its free ;) but for $25?! That unbelieveble! If, when you refer to all 16 movies do you mean the 2 speacials, Lord Slug and the 10th anaversary special? (I'm a huge DBZ fan and the thought of getting all the DB I ever wanted for $25 is dumbfounding...)

I shop at ebay quite a bit too but only on the conditions that payment will b e made by direct deposit and that they will insure the item I buy in case of loss. That way they can't say they sent it and it was lost in the mail and are less confident in screwing you over, considering you have their bank account details.
If they were able to make a fake account under a fake name and address then that's different but I'm sure you all know that creating a fake bank account is not much of an option.

I don't have a link, but I just saw on MSNBC that Eminem's childhood home is up for sale on eBay. A guy bought this 13k square foot home for less than $60K and posted it on eBay. The bid is now over....

Now that's what i call a smart businessman.

I can't believe it... 1 Mil for a trailer trash house? Some people need lives... or better things to spend their money on...

i love going to ebay its so much fun you get to bid im goina get a new ps2(mine broke and some comp games) its also fun seeing people gett ripped off or trying to rip someone off.

Moose you almost have that Barbie keep up the good work. ;)

Ebay is endless entertainment.

Definatly I can go on for hours.

Brunette barbie $1700?! Just buy a regular one in the store for five bucks and colour in her hair with a marker pen for crying out loud!
