[QUOTE=Shirley Ujest And I am going to be a good girl and not buy anything until at least september. But, I plan to sell a bunch of stuff once school is back in.[/QUOTE] Don’t be good now, this is the time to buy, buy, buy. But, you are right, time to sell definitely after school begins. ---

A cylinder head for my '75 Honda CB400F - at £13.10. That is pretty much what I use ebay for, buying old motorcycle parts. ---

I use Ebay primarily for Xmas toy shopping. The highlight for me is when I buy someone’s old toys that are in barely used condition, I am getting 10 of the action figures for the cost of two ( plus S&H) and I don’t have to wrestle with the stupid manufactorer packaging with all the stinkin’ wires and stuff. ---

A Coleco Table Top Donkey Kong game from the early 80’s. I’ve only gotten past level 2 once, but when I did, I managed to get up to level 5. It’s also the ONLY thing I’ve ever bought from eBay, although I’ve got my eye out for an affordable Frogger Table Top game.
