2019 April eBay bucks - how do YOU use them?

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

With the eBay bucks for the quarter having landed, I’m curious to see how people use them? Knock a few sheckles off the price of a high cost item? Knock out one item (or several) for free? Nice problem to have, for sure.

I have roughly $85 and I’m trying to decide how best to use it. As such, I figured some board input may be a help; and feel free to post what you actually bought, too! Not trying to steal the thunder of the April pickups thread, either, so please feel free to post images in both threads!

Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?

    Usually I blow the entire wad when I get the email notification that they can be redeemed. However, this time I am watching a few items on PWCC that end in a week. So hopefully i will have to something nice to show then.

    I got back around $120. I usually buy old US silver coins by the roll with ebucks. This time I bought all baseball cards and a Phillies hat, a LOT of 2019 heritage Phillies cards and some autographed cards
    Down to about $10 left. Not sure what to blow it on now

    I generally buy some stuff I wouldnt actually spend money on. I think last time I had about $80 and someone listed three boxes of BBCE wrapped Fright Flicks for $300 and between the ebay bucks and the 25% ebay coupon they had, it took it down to $145 shipped. I would have never spent that if I had to use my own money
