It sucks having ebay bucks

and not really finding anything that I want to spend the money on.....
Either things are overpriced anyway or things I don't really want/need. Had a set of bucks expire last quarter and want to spend these this time...just not finding much.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

<< <i>What difference does it make if it is overpriced unless you mean that it's more over priced than what you have in bucks? >>
It's a waste to get a deal on one coin an blow it on another.
Nothing outside the coin world even?
If you give those bucks to your wife I'll bet that she wouldn't have any problem spending them.

Bingo! That's how I feel.
I've been looking at other (non-coin/bullion) as well... once I exhausted about 5 hours of coin/bullion looking the last 2 nights

<< <i>It's amazing how much you can save shopping on ebay for things other than coins. Widen your viewing horizon. Just bought some HVAC filters, saved a bunch. Been looking at the small drones with cameras. >>
Agreed, and that's why, above your post, I put that I have been shopping for other things. There are things some would buy on ebay but I wouldn't (TVs and such), but I have been shopping for other things as well.....just nothing right now is jumping out.
I don't want to overpay just to use them. Not looking for rips, but also not wanting to jump through hoops and buy something to sell it....rather buy something I want/need.

<< <i>Since April I have bought 36 different early PCGS MS64 to MS66 commemoratives for my type set, & I think the prices are very low compared to Bower's book and the 2015 red book. >>
They have been very low for 20 years. I would caution against using the Redbook and Bowers book as price guides. Comments are all readily available even into the high MS. That gives you the opportunity to be patient and look for really nice pieces.

I approve!
Actually, I have, in similar circumstances, purchased silver for a net price below melt.
Filters for the refrigerator
Cartridges for the printers
cheapo cell phone for my mom, as she is almost 90 and loses or breaks them, so I keep buying the same model she is familiar with.
Shipping tape (I ship about 5 - 8 packages a day)
Replacement light fixture for the bathroom (Home Depot $119, online: $46)

Replacement Pewter Belt Buckle for my son, exact replacement for the one he bought in Alaska 3 years ago, and REALLY liked it.
Keurig Coffee Cup Holder stand that my wife's Keurig coffee maker now sits on, and it holds 36 of those little cups. I don't drink coffee, but she LIVES on it (Given as a gift by my son for Mother's Day, big points scored)
Vacuum cleaner bags
New Broiler Pan for the Oven, replacing a 20 year old nasty pan
9 college text books for my youngest, BIG SAVINGS on those.
A long time ago, when you could buy a gun on ebay, I bought one for my dad. He had been with the 82nd Airborne during WWII, and always talked about his M1 paratrooper carbine. He lost it when he was captured, and when he was discharged, he basically got nothing. I got a copy of his DD214, and bought all the medals that were listed, along with THE CARBINE, made by Singer, still had the 82nd stamping on the receiver. It made for a very special Christmas present, one of the few times he was totally speechless.
When he passed away, the medals wound up in the triangular wood box that holds the funeral flag, in my mother's possession, and everything else, along with his jump helmet and other things, went to "back" to me.
<< <i>Whether its Apmex material for my investment portfolio or some Ebay auction (for inventory for show or online store) I have no problem spending the ebay bucks. If I buy at least as much as I sell, my selling costs effectively go from 9 to 7% of sales. >>
I would agree with that....I am not much of a seller though.....so, I tend to want things that I want and not just flip (unless it is a hot USMint item that I just HAVE TO HAVE to flip )

I had $42 expire on me last quarter because I was waiting and trying to find something I wanted/could use.
In the past, I have purchased toner, fridge filters, etc etc etc, when I couldn't find a coin I wanted. Was a lot harder, for me, this time.

Last quarter I bought a PCGS F2 1932-D quarter. Using eBay Bucks, I reduced the price to 10 bucks, including shipping. Fun coin!
