eBay

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Anyone want 3,000+ basketball cards lol? I don't even want to list them, no one else seems to be able to sell any huge collections.

Yeah, eBay has really ruined the market for trading cards. The market is absolutly flooded.

ebay can be a dangerous thing if you get addicted. i was in to buying authentic nba jerseys for cheap a while back. i started to buy jerseys for teams i dont even like just because they were cheap. i got a Ben Gordon authentic throwback for $40.

It's all paid off now without a cent of interest. ;) That said, I'm envious. $40 for an authentic is a steal.

I'm planning on buying a (cheap) guitar + amplifier on eBay, but I'm a bit lost. Has anyone ever bought anything over 300$ on eBay? Is it safe?

I bought some posters earlier this year but I'm pretty sure it's not the same thing.

It may sound a bit obvious, but just make sure you buy from a seller with good feedback. Sellers with good feedback, especially those who sell in high volume, would rather take a bullet to the knee than receive a negative feedback. Don't pay with cash or check, Paypal (though it's a corrupt and BS service) is always the safest route.

^^^Visit my blog! Nothing too interesting, but I try to make a post every day, and I try to go in depth. Please leave lots of negative feedback! I want to become a sports journalist on the side some day, and I know I have a looooooong way to go.

***Note: I had make a new URL because for some reason I couldn't log into the old one...bummer.

Yeah that's how I use my credit card, the only thing I consistently use it for is to pay the monthly Foxtel bill and then bpay out of my savings account.

I never bought of ebay. Since I'm not really sure I would want things to be shipped across the globe. I did buy things on similar sites like ebay and I always got what I wanted. I got a few good deals too. Bought a Lebron jersey for like 10 euros and a few nike,addidas, puma, and1 things for a cheap prize.

I only use it when I know I've got the cash to cover it (or in some cases, will have the cash after my next pay goes into my account).
