    If you don't find something you like, buy bullion. Something liquid.

    Stack some gold.... always a good place to store cash for later .... and gold is always impressive when stacked. Cheers, RickO

    Do not do this. You can't use ebay gift cards to buy any form of currency or silver. Learned this the hard way.

    Great patience. Mine are spent immediately. Kick in a few shekels and pick up a rill of SAE's

    Something for $305. That's a good question.

    I'd go for a type coin, in AU.... maybe a half cent, or even some capped bust material in the quarter to half dollar size. Nothing lavish.... just something eye appealing for the grade and price. You know, there is a lot of good stuff out there. You have options..... I'd say all your needs are met. :smile:

    Sounds like someone is trying to brag about how many eBay bucks they have, because if you have earned 300 eBay bucks, it goes to show you have been purchasing plenty already and don't need help from others

    @Vonkraut I had a bunch of eBay Bucks because I played the numerous bonus offers in March. By far the most that I have ever had in my seventeen years on eBay for such free money. I'd imagine many of us here did that. The OP's comments are kind of a late follow-up to a flurry of earlier posts here.

    But I had my eBay Bucks spent within two hours after receiving them. NOT GONNA LOSE THAT large amount of them!

    This is how I wind up with duplicates. Finding something I actually need for my collection during the eBay Bucks month is 50/50.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I only had about $40 but ended up buying some discounted postage. Nothing fun and makes me look cheap when mailing, but it's always fun to see what comes and save a little money.

    Not bragging - recall in March when they were giving 15% kickback - bought some gold for less than spot (net) and some tools - accumulated about $400 in ebucks.

    Easy to accumulate at 15%! :+1:

    Think I'm going to buy a Festool Vecturo - need it for projects around the cabin. Just holding off to see if there are any last minute ebay rebates being offered tomorrow. :D

    Edited for spelling.....

    @Lakesammman You are a brave man. I had far more in eBay Bucks than I ever had before (and I owe some of that to the gentlemen who posted here about the various offers). There is no way I could cut it that close to the wire/ deadline.

    I usually use the ebay bucks on books or old auction catalogs. Wasn't really finding anything I wanted and then stumbled across a set of the B&M Norweb Collection auction catalogs this afternoon and just bought them.

    You could buy a couple 1/10 gold eagles certfied ms69 from Modern coin mart but probably need to spend a little over. And those you could later sell for a few bucks less, free money.

    The Festool is a great choice if you don't have an oscillating saw.
    I've had a Fein Multimaster for a decade and it has paid for itself many times over. Makes accurate cuts and lowers stress significantly.

    Done deal - bought the Festool! Looking forward to having fun with it - thanks for the confirmation, Cameonut. :+1:

    Had the same dilemma...didn't get any ebucks offers the entire time. :(
    I waited until this morning and HAD to spend it...couldn't decide. Bought 1/2oz gold coin....of course, by the time I come home this evening, I see I could have saved $5 more by waiting...as gold dropped between 11am and 4pm. :(

    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 do not understand why you wait, you can spend 'partials' on any purchases until bucks are used up...
