This is sort of O.T., but I will ask it anyway:

Does anyone actually buy other things on eBay, other than collector coins?

    I hunt around for civil war and Custer memorabilia occasionally. Once I get to know and like a seller then I end up doing less on Ebay.

    Lots of stuff for my old Atari 800 computer and a bunch of old, cheap-but-decent copies of Alaska Geographic. A few other things here and there, too.

    Oh, and a few *books* about coins, too. image

    I buy all sorts of other stuff, including CDs, DVDs, computer items, and glass petri dishes for soaking coins in acetone. My last non-coin purchase was a new in the box Nikon 5400 as a backup to my 8800, and I got it for $100 less than I could buy it anywhere else for.

    I purchase some of the elements for my periodic table collection, but I do less of that now that I've gotten to know some of the dealers and do a lot more direct business outside of E-Bay.
    I collect the elements on the periodic table, and some coins. I have a complete Roosevelt set, and am putting together a set of coins from 1880.

    That's a nice offer, but it was my third so I'm fully redundant.

    No scrotum bags (so far) but I did buy vacuum bags (much cheaper that I could have bought retail – probably 50% of retail price).

    I have one in my garage (seriously) sealed from Australia that I'll sell you for $10+ shipping?

    I buy electronics, stamps, memorabilia, clothing, tools, books, tried to buy my last car there. Pretty much anything I can get a good deal on from a good dealer.
    Prost!

    Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.

    Ebay has it all. I saw one poster say he buys things for his old Atari 800. I sold an Atari 800 with the extras on ebay about 2 years ago. Maybe he bought it??

    I've bought clothes, books, a DVD player for $5 (yes, it works fine), a high quality backpacking tent, large backpack. Ebay has it all!
