Best ebay bargins

What is your best ebay bargin as i have recently got a renault bike rack for my laguna that actually bolts on to the tailgate for the bargin price of 99p after dhl messed up the delivery and refunded me the costs.

A few years back, the mother-in-law wanted a ‘good quality’ (why do they always say that?) pedometer.

10 mins on ebay resulted in a christmas present for her for the princely sum of 1 pence! (OK there was a quid postage on that, but hey, a 1p crimbo pressie for the M-I-L!!!!)

Got a Fox Vanilla R for £35 posted.

this wasn’t an Ebay item but mrs. ordered a GPS, and a few other items from ARGOS on line for delivery to our cottage in Cornwall.. when we got there all but the GPS had been delivered so we went to the local ARGOS and complained.

They wound up giving us a new one

Then we found the original one stuck in a corner behind the door. ( two for the price of one )

I’ve been meaning to return it for some time now.

So you stole a GPS from Argos?

So you stole a GPS from Argos?

thats my kind of bargain.

Drac, unintentionally.. but.. yes.

and I feel really bad about it, no really I do.

Give it to me and I’ll pass it to my sister-in-law who works there.
Honest I will.

DezB… can you come pick it up

?

Cornwall? Be there in about 4 hours

Cornwall is where we spent Christmas.. home is Geneva, switz ( I think.. again I get so confused with that *home* word. )

A Burgtec front hub, brand new 100% for a tenner 🙂

Xt front mech – £2.20

I bought a “Brand New” Campnag Record Carbon (175mm) chainset for £60 posted, Should have been over £200. Well happy with that. 😛

Not from ebay. But got a pair of 2006 Rock Shox Reba Race forks, £50 posted. There immaculate. Well happy with that!

Got a pair of replacement front seats for the SO’s old Saxo when the runner broke, 99p!

Best Sale is definitely a used toilet which some mad sod paid $AUS300 for !! Its a long story but the mad sod also bought an unused one and a basin for $AUS1500……bit pricy since new from a shop they were only about $500 !!!

You do find some complete nutters on there !!!

£10,000 worth of NOS race-(motor)bike parts for £120 delivered. Came on 2 pallets.

not a purchase..

.. but my parents were throwing out some light fittings – medieval style ones from the 70s. I said I’d pop them on ebay, just to see if I could get £20 or so.

They sold for over £300. Madness. Must be a design thing going on for medievel clobber. A bloke from Finland even emailed me.

I tried selling a bargainous 160G ipod video classic on there for 100 quid with a case and no-one bought it, idiots. 6 people watching it too. YOU HAVE TO BID TO WIN!

I’m currently trying to sell a drum on there for a bargainous price too with no joy. The people on ebay are worse than the people on the clasifieds here.

road bike £15
fixed cog £5
new pedals £10

£30 bike – Cant say fairer than that. Loved that little bike.

samuri – those watchers will be people with the same things to sell – just seeing how much they go for probably. Found starting at a lower price like 99p gets people into the bidding war and the red mist descents. Though gets worrying when you expensive stuff is still only a fiver with 10 mins to go…

Best eBay bargain recently – 14 special halogen bulbs, about £3-4 each, 99p for the lot. Magic!

Been watching for a Outwell Norfolk tent for the past 6 months, cheapest online including ebay was £595, until 3 weeks ago when advert appears for a never used only put up in back garden one. Got it for £400 Im well chuffed, they bought it on a whim on a nice Sunny day. gives me plenty of room to keep my bikes inside during the night 😀

Got some brand new never used Float 32 RLCs £100 quid off nearest retail price last year.

I found a little postcard portable sized photo printer on amazon (again not ebay)Priced at £220 went to checkout and found it was only charging me £40, so ordered three, for £120, which is what I paid and it was 2 years ago now.
Sold the other 2 on Ebay for £150 buy it now, free postage. BARGIN
