How to spend low value eBay Bucks?

JimW · January 11, 2021 7:17PM

Perhaps I am an outlier, but I suspect there are some of us with a small amount of eBay Bucks to spend (~ $5 or whatever).
Any thoughts on the best bang for the eBuck? I am thinking a relatively low value but nice to own coin make sense from a satisfaction standpoint. Good deals on said coins in TPGS holders (?). What series are good picks, etc.
What are other folks in this boat doing ?

I got Chapsticks with my $2.50. No coins of interest near that level.

I just took it off a $25 order.

I agree nothing at that level, but from a percentage standpoint $5 off a $20 coin is a 25% savings which could make said purchase more appealing - noting that we are talking about very small apples here
Just thinking no one wants to throw out any eBay bucks they've earned.

Someone mentioned they bought some socks with their mini bucks. Normally I am in this group and just apply it to a bullion round, but thanks (I think) to having to buy a new pool filter and a bed cover for my truck I have more than I usually have. Unfortunately I still have the usual issue with finding something good to buy.

Saved $1.11 on a 6-pack of toothbrushes today... WOOHOO!

If you look a bit you can get a W quarter PCGS graded in the 64-65 range for around $15. If you take $5 or whatever off that...
It would cost you more to have one graded.

@ifthevamzarockin Thanks for the pertinent response!
@CoinJunkie Nice - I think you are all good on that front for about 3 yrs - assuming that is your intended usage

If I haven't bought something near the expiration I just pick up some cheap silver certificates.

Just buy whatever you want and use it as a coupon code. It doesn’t have to be the exact amount.

I agree with what some have said. A few $ off a modest coin, Silver Eagle, etc. might make it a good deal.

I’ve used small amounts on world coins or notes where I like the design (there is a large variety for $5 and under on eBay).

I just make a regular purchase and apply the eBay bucks toward the purchase similar to using a store coupon.

As mentioned by others, you can apply it ass a partial payment for something more expensive. like a gift card.

Usually. I make some kind of purchase that's more expensive than the BayBucks where just click the button to uses thee eBayBucks.

I usually buy batteries .

davewesen · January 12, 2021 10:24AM

buy what you usually buy, and apply it to the order. You can use partials as well. $5 Bucks, $3 purchase, $2 Bucks still to use. $5 Bucks, $50 purchase, end up getting for $45.

RAW coins with potential for straight grading.
