Whats the last thing you bought on EBAY?

[undeterred]

I bought some old CDs that are hard to find.

[LeftyMom]

1. 2 iskins. nt

[undeterred]

3. I don't know what that is.

[LeftyMom]

5. Little silicone covers to keep an ipod from getting scratched up. nt

[GOPisEvil]

2. A laptop desk.

[Moochy]

4. Some lead miniatures

three 25mm scale lead miniatures of sci-fi looking motorcycles. :)

Sometimes I forget what I've bid on and end up getting stuff weeks later.

[skygazer]

6. My printer

An HP all in one. Very happy with it.

[terrya]

7. "Sweet Smell of Success" on DVD

A great movie and a bargain, also. :-)

[Roland99]

8. Charger for my daughter's cell phone.

[sendero]

9. A bunch of 1964 ..

.... Kennedy half-dollars, 90% silver :)

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

21. How much are they worth?

I've got a could I've aquired over the years. I'm not selling them I'm keeping a few for myself to display with a Kennedy campaign button I have and putting the others in a piggie bank for my very soon to be born nephew to have.

[sendero]

34. Well...

... the 90% silver halves have .36 troy ounces of silver each. At the current spot price of $9.08, they would be worth $3.27 each for their silver melt value.

[wovenpaint]

10. Let's see....

I got most of my Holiday gifts from there-gotta love it!
I just bought a little, tiny book of fortunes from fortune cookies. It's a gift for a friend and it's perfect!

[Rowdyboy]

11. Honestly? Two gay porn VCR tapes.....

I'll be polite and omit the names, but we watched part of one about soldiers this morning.....

[Ikonoklast]

12. Dick Cheney's soul

Got it real cheap. It's kinda black and tattered; smells kinda singed, too. Gonna scare the kids this Halloween with it.

[NewJeffCT]

36. I figured they'd have had to pay you to take it!

as black as it is and all.

[LynneSin]

13. Three tubes of a discontinued Christian Dior Lip Gloss

(It was my signature color)

[Blue-Jay]

14. You have a "signature color"?

[LynneSin]

15. Well not anymore - it was discontinued

so when those tubes of lipstick are gone, I better have a new signature color

:cry:

[SKKY]

16. I got this kick-ass 19 DVD Baby Einstein set for 30 bucks!!!

...and also some Kenneth Cole Black cologne.

[u4ic]

17. Two horse racing DVD's

[richmwill]

33. Which dvd's? (n/t)

[u4ic]

52. One was a biography of Nijinsky

and the other was the great Euro races of the 20th century (that wasn't the title...History of Flat Racing? something to that effect)

They were both wonderful...the latter was amazing, to see the legendary horses and races...Sea Bird, Sir Ivor, Nijinsky, Mill Reef, Brigadier Gerard, the Grundy/Bustino King George matchup, Dancing Brave's Arc...:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. It's been awhile, but

DVDs of "At Last, the 1948 Show" and "Do Not Adjust Your Set," the precursors to Monty Python. :bounce:

The former featured John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman; the latter Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Eric Idle.

[Bryan]

19. The Criterion Collection DVD of Videodrome.

Buried inside all the weirdness is one of the great satires of the corporate-RW linkage of our era.

"Hi, I'm Barry Convex, director of special projects for Spectacular Optical, an enthusiastic global corporate citizen. We make inexpensive glasses for the third world, and missile guidance systems for NATO."

[auntAgonist]

20. two IRiver players

one for me and one for my husband. His is larger, plays videos etc. Mine's the H10 20GB his is the PMP 140.
got good deals on them!

[unsavedtrash]

22. 1937 Life mag with an article depicting "Christmas in Nazi-land," which

showed Jews hanging from gallows as tree decorations. Anyone who got that mag at the time cannot tell me that they had no idea of what was to come in Nazi Germany. I also collect Dearborn Independent newspapers from the 1920s (from ebay) which showed Ford's outright hatred of Jewish people. My college degree is in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. When people tell me that for the most part the world didn't know about the coming Holocaust and the treatment of those who experienced it I can pull out these papers and tell them that many in the world knew exactly what was happening and did nothing to prevent it.

[liberalhistorian]

27. The really interesting thing about

Ford and his truly vicious, visceral hatred of Jews and his promotion of anti-semitism, including writing an article about the "global problem of the international Jew" is that, when he viewed newsreels of the liberation of several camps and what the American soldiers found, he apparently became very pale and then very ill and was never the same after that. Too bad the fucker "saw the light" a little too late to do any good.

[CanuckAmok]

82. the "Tree image"... is that a John Heartfield collage?

That sounds like something he would do:

http://www.towson.edu/heartfield/

[unsavedtrash]

88. nope. It was a photo of a small wooden ornament on a Christmas tree

you can google it. LIFE December 27 1937 "Christmas in Naziland"

[Left Is Write]

23. Barbie clothes.

[Gold Metal Flake]

39. I got a 1960s Dream House for Ms. OR for Xmas off Ebay.

Few years back. Pretty good shape.

[Left Is Write]

44. That's cool!

I bought a mix of homemade and vintage 70s clothes. It wasn't terribly expensive, and I thought it was a good way to increase my daughter's doll wardrobe while having a little nostalgic fun myself.

[Gold Metal Flake]

55. I've done the same for my kid with G.I Joe stuff & Tyco racers.

Now, what I would really like to do is get a bunch of Major Matt Mason stuff. I loved that guy! But it's real pricey.

[Starlight]

24. Panties. They just came in the mail today.

3 pairs of beautiful pink lace Cosabella boyshorts. Store tags show the original price of $60 each. Fortunately I paid nowhere near that. :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. This post is useless without

pictures. :evilgrin:



(Well, somebody was gonna say it.) :shrug:

[Starlight]

61. No problem.

There were several pictures in the ebay posting. :)

[Gold Metal Flake]

25. Wireless PCMCIA card for the laptop. Sadly, the card slot is faulty.

Both my 2wire and this new Ashton card will not work. Tried reloading the slot drivers from the WinME disk, no dice. Slot knows something is in it, but does not respond, (the sort of behavior that also makes for a bummer of a date). So, I'm stuck with the USB wireless adaptor.

I buy shit all the time on Ebay, especially car parts. Sell stuff, too.

[liberalhistorian]

28. There are people who make their

living doing nothing but selling on ebay, whether it's buying and selling, or making things and selling them.

[liberalhistorian]

26. I bought a CD an amateur historian

had put together on the FBI investigative files on the May 4, 1970, shootings at Kent State. He had requested the declassified files via the Freedom of Information Act, and had put together CD's of the files he received so that others could review them as well.

I was a member of the May 4 Task Force when I was a student there, and I got to know some of the students who'd been wounded and the victim's families, as well as many of those who'd been present that day or otherwise involved. So, when I saw it for sale on ebay, I had to have it and he only charged $10 for it, too.

It was absolutely fascinating and showed beyond a doubt that the FBI didn't give a damn about getting to the real truth and had total contempt for the findings of the Scranton Commission, the independent congressional commission charged with investigating it; the commission called the shootings "unwarranted, unjustifiable, and inexcusable", which it most certainly was. There's evidence to indicate that there were agents provocatuer present at Kent that whole weekend, which would just go along with the FBI's Cointelpro operation at that time. It's really fascinating what you can get on ebay at times.

[Gold Metal Flake]

38. Was the historian the dealer?

If this is an ongoing item for sale, can you post the link to the sellers auctions? If it's a one-off, maybe it could be reproduced?

[liberalhistorian]

40. Yes, he was the dealer, but

I bought it a couple of years ago and I don't think it's an ongoing sale. However, I could try to see if I could make a copy of the CD for you if you want.

[Gold Metal Flake]

47. My knowledge of Kent State is sorely lacking.

I'll PM.

[liberalhistorian]

53. I'd be glad to answer any questions,

I know the history inside and out and even lived some of it being in the Task Force at the time of the May 4 Memorial fiasco, the protesting of the scaled-back memorial, and other similar events.

[seemunkee]

30. 1930s baseball flipbook

I have bids in for a few other flipbooks this weekend.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

31. I fed the evil pirate trolls and bought "The Mary Whitehouse Experience"

complete TV series DVDs as it looks like it'll never get an official release (it failed to even come to video).

[aQuArius]

32. BUY my OLD TOYS on sale @ EBAY now!!!!

I'm makin money!!! wheeee!

http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/SaleSearch?sofocus=bs&satitle=&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC5&fbd=1&%3Bsspagename=h%3Ah%3Aadvsearch%3AUS&from=R6&nojspr=y&fscl=1&pfid=0&fswc=1&few=&saprclo=&saprchi=&fss=1&saslop=1&sasl=notlef&fls=4%26floc%3D1&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D0&salic=1&saatc=1&sadis=200&fpos=76137&fsct=&sacur=0&sacqyop=ge&sacqy=&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&sabdlo=&sabdhi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&fcl=3&frpp=50

[Gold Metal Flake]

48. Uh oh.

Ms. OR is smitten with one. It's on the watch list.

[aQuArius]

51. These were all mine (or hand-me -downs)

I hope she likes, I'll discount shipping to DU'ers and/or
spouses!

[richmwill]

35. The infamous 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken baseball card

For those who don't know- someone decided to be funny and write "Fuck Face" on the knob of the bat he is holding. Yes, call me immature, but- I love it :)

[NewJeffCT]

37. I just missed out on a Dyson vacuum...

I was leading with 4 seconds left, too!

The last thing I bought was some Disney DVDs for my daughter for Christmas - Toy Story 1 & 2 and Little Mermaid.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

41. I'm an EBAY virgin

:blush: Never bought anything on EBAY.

[pintobean]

42. this

[Gold Metal Flake]

43. Groovy!

Far out.

Did the price put a hole in your pocket?

[pintobean]

45. 37 bucks, including shipping.

It was a Christmas gift for my daughter.

[qnr]

46. Why are they so friggin' slow these days? - some 5" vinyl stickers

It just took it 227 seconds to open the My Messages page - and it happens all the time recently.

Anyway,

&

[Cobalt Violet]

49. this

Rusk Drop Out Rotation dvd.

It's a haircut technique dvd

[SofaKingLiberal]

50. yellowcake n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

54. Yeah, and where's my pos feedback, pal?

I shipped that shit fast.

[SofaKingLiberal]

62. Yeah about that,

next time please don't put radioactive symbols on the package.

:hi:

[Gold Metal Flake]

65. Sorry, new guy in shippin.

I'll have him boiled at once. :hi:

10% off next order? :-)

[deadparrot]

56. Textbooks.

:)

[Nutmegger]

57. Same here. n-t

[jobycom]

58. 82 Mercedes Benz diesel, I think. Or a van for my parents. Forget which.

[GOPisEvil]

59. You like buying cars via ebay, don't you?

How do you like your M-B? What kinda mileage you getting?

[jobycom]

68. If I know what I'm looking for. Saves search time.

You can't test drive them, so you have to have a feel for who is selling it. The Prius was so new I didn't see how it could be in bad shape, and there weren't any around. The van was with a dealer who had a good rating, and I asked a lot of questions first.

The MB is okay, but I might sell it. I bought it to run off homemade biodiesel, but then moved into an apartment, so I can't make it, and the only places in Austin to buy biodiesel are below the river. It runs well, and drives well, but since I no longer have a garage to work on it, I can't maintain it well. It only gets about 22 mpg. So it may wind up back on Ebay in the next month or two.

[GOPisEvil]

70. I really want a project car...but...

As I'm not working right now, I probably shouldn't. I don't know anything about diesels though. But they're pretty bulletproof, eh?

[jobycom]

73. Well, it's 23 years old, and starts on the first try every time.

So it's pretty hardy. The MB body is indestructable, too. Parts are expensive, though.

So you're out of work?

[GOPisEvil]

75. I had a falling out with mgmt.

So, unhappy as I was anyway, I decided to bail.

I'm in paralegal school and living on savings until the next big thing.

[PittPoliSci]

60. a queers record

i was ripped off, i was 14

[grateful581]

63. A Bill Clinton Bobble head

[RoyGBiv]

64. Newspaper - 1837

I collect paper. Ebay is an excellent source for it.

[DanCa]

66. I brought a rock harmonica tabscd and an ultimate iron man hero clix

The Tab Cd was 6.00 and the hero clix was only about 23 bucks.

[Floogeldy]

67. I have never purchased anything on E-Bay.

Your question assumes erroneous facts.

Stop it.

76. Bumpersticker and a poster

I got the "Fear & Loating in Las Vegas" drug speech poster and a rainbow bumpersticker that says "Girls Kick Ass!" My stepdad just gave me one of his jeeps and I've gotta queer it up a bit. I feel bad about driving an SUV but my car is dead, I have no money, and it was free. Sometimes, you just have to take what's available. I want a hybrid though.

[Hardrada]

77. An East German flag

and some medals. I would send a picture of the flag but I'm sure it isb familiar to those who watched the Olympics in the period 1960 to 1988.

[njdemocrat106]

78. A Super Nintendo video game I bought on 1/18/03

Funny thing is, I barely play video and computer games anymore. And for some reason, I haven't bought anything since on eBay.

And if anyone is interested, the first thing I bought on eBay was some New Jersey state quarters on June 10, 1999 (I have my eBay feedback profile open in another browser window, that's how I know the dates :) ).

[driver8]

79. 2 LPs by the band "Swimming Pool Q's"...

[fight4my3sons]

86. Thomas the Tank Engine Break Down Train
