What Did You Buy With Your eBay Bucks?

daddymc · October 8, 2009 9:49PM

I got a message that my eBay Bucks certificate from last quarter was awarded. So, I picked this up for about $100 shipped after using my eBay bucks. Pretty pumped as I've wanted this card for awhile and was able to buy a grade higher that what I thought I would eventually buy. The great thing is I earned about another $3 in eBay bucks as well!

That looks like a nice looking 7! Congrats.

bobbyw8469 · October 8, 2009 10:14PM

not every account gets Ebay bucks......my buying account doesn't, but my selling account does!?!?!?!?!?! Way to go Ebay!

VintageCardLover · October 8, 2009 10:23PM

i spent it on a $10 common card lol. so that pretty much erased my balance!

zep33 · October 8, 2009 10:29PM

All $3.11 went towards paying for a Dice-K card this morning

bobbyw8469 · October 8, 2009 10:31PM

I thought you had to have at least $5 to cash in....I had $4 something in my buyers account and lost it.....

zep33 · October 8, 2009 10:46PM

Dunno, it used it automatically this morning when I paid for something.

Also go an email with my certificate saying $3.11

daddymc · October 8, 2009 11:21PM

I think you're thinking of Bing Cashback.

Kid4hof03 · October 8, 2009 11:23PM

I have not bought much the last few months so my ebay bucks were pretty low. I was able to get this with them though, added $2 for shipping.

cwazzy · October 8, 2009 11:31PM

I have a whole $4.44 in eBay Bucks so the possibilities are endless! I'll have to scour the site tonight to see what I'm going to blow it on.

corvette1340 · October 9, 2009 12:06AM

I didn't get near as much as last quarter when I was putting together all those sets, but I have one for $84 waiting to be spent on something. Might get something else to bust, that seems to be my theme lately.

1961 Pirates Riger Sketch Clemente VERY RARE Ford Promo
Here we have a very rare regional 1961 Pittsburgh Pirates promotional portfolio. This portfolio holds (6) 11x14 lithographed sketches and (1) 15x21.5" sketch by award winning sports illustrator, Robert Riger. Each sketch is marked in the lower left corner "1961 Ford Motor Company". Each sketch also holds a facsimile of Riger's autograph. These portfolios were only distributed to Ford dealerships in the Tri-State area. The sketches all come in a nice Ford portfolio that has a nice cover noting the Pirates Championship earned the year before. On the back page is Ford's lineup of vehicles for that year.

All of the sketches are in near mint condition and would look wonderful framed.

These are the titles of the sketches;

Hoak Handles a Shot at Third
Bob Friend Comes in with the Fast One
The Law
Clemente Lines One Over Second
Groat Cuts Down a Brave Steal
Maz Gets the Big Hit
Danny Murtaugh (15" x 21.5", also color tinted)

Sorry I'm a little slow.

How do you become eligible for eBay bucks? Is it automatic? I did quite a bit of buying over the last few months and I don't think I got anything.

prscott933 · October 9, 2009 12:28AM

I have yet to get the email saying mine is available but I have about $60 and will be using it toward a nice PSA6 or 6.5 Steve Carlton RC.

daddymc · October 9, 2009 12:35AM

I don't think it's available to all accounts. If/When you are eligible, you get a message from eBay to join the program. Then each quarter you get a % back on your purchases.

daddymc · October 9, 2009 12:36AM

Good choice. I need to think about upgrading mine next quarter. Please stop back with a pic when you find one.

itzagoner · October 9, 2009 1:26AM

got almost 90 bucks, WTF did i buy????

gotta pay off a coupla auctions incl. some '74 Topps Baseball Stamps, so i guess it goes there.

jivan · October 9, 2009 1:33AM

got me a nice psa 7 1969 earl the pearl monroe tallboy..cheap buy it now price and ebay bucks made this a steal..

epatmythes · October 9, 2009 1:41AM

Waiting, and hoping, that once the Cardinals lose to the Dodgers that an unexplainable rash of PSA 10 Pujols rookies show up on the Bay. Oddly enough a couple of nice ones have shown up this week... was able to pick up one so far and still trying to work a deal on another.

Sure, my $86.33 certificate won't last long

kwtoz · October 9, 2009 2:26AM

It would be nice if everyone had the opportunity. I don't.

metsfan · October 9, 2009 2:32AM

<< not every account gets Ebay bucks......my buying account doesn't, but my selling account does!?!?!?!?!?! Way to go Ebay! >>

You have to sign up for Ebay bucks, its not automatic. At least thats how I understand it??

richtree · October 9, 2009 2:34AM

i had about 60 bux....

so I purchased a bunch a errors....

the highlight , a 1982 topps Blue-less George Brett

!

prscott933 · October 9, 2009 2:34AM

<< It would be nice if everyone had the opportunity. I don't. >>

My personal ebay account of 13 years did not get invited. However, my business' account that is only about 2 years old did.

Sportsamerica · October 9, 2009 3:09AM

My ebay account which I had for years didn't, but I set up a new ebay account and bam there it was.. So I use that for buying now.

I got about $60 bucks to spend... Not sure on what yet...

daddymc · October 9, 2009 4:33AM

I've had a nice little uptick in BIN store sales today...maybe due to eBay bucks being awarded and spent. Anyone else with an eBay store or fixed price BIN listings seeing the same?

I just run 30 day BIN (with Best Offer) listings... and had one card sell today straight up at the BIN price.

Had to be eBay Bucks, as I rarely get SMR for 1960 Topps PSA 7 & PSA 8 cards (which is what I typically set as the BIN price)

MULLINS5 · October 9, 2009 5:21AM

BPorter26 · October 9, 2009 11:02AM

A lot of nice pick ups. Payton rookie and a 58 Aaron. I only had $11.81. I just purchased with my ebay bucks a 1982 Johnny Ray PSA 10 for my Pittsburgh Pirate RC collection

Evening,
I had a guy must have spent some time in my Store today shopping and then writing everything down, then I spent an hour on the phone with him. He had everything listed with Auction numbers ect. Was a lot of 53 different 1938-1942 Non Sports PSA items. Retail in store was $1350+. We negotiated and I let him have it all for $975.00 Off E-Bay.
Nice sales day!

Nice cards everyone. Just picked up this Jackie.

Here is my pickup with ebay bucks award. Nice program

hammered · October 9, 2009 3:22PM

I picked up one of these:

SDSportsFan · October 9, 2009 3:34PM

Matt,

I don't know how familiar you are with Gretzky OPC rookies, but I'm not so sure about that one. It's perhaps a bit hard to see in the scan, but there should be a white dot about halfway up the red portion of Gretzky's left shoulder. This dot is diagnostic, meaning it appears on every OPC Gretzky rookie. If the dot isn't there, it's a telltale sign that the card is fake. You can go to ebay and search all 1979-80 OPC Gretzky's and see the dot.

Steve

CNote · October 9, 2009 3:55PM

I picked up a couple Hershisers I'd been eying

daddymc · October 9, 2009 10:36PM

Nice! Great eye appeal with that Jackie.

thunderdan · October 10, 2009 8:11AM

Picked this up with my eBay bucks. Thanks, eBay!

prscott933 · October 10, 2009 8:01PM

In a slight twist to what I had planned on getting I picked up a Game 4 World Series ticket stub. I didn't feel like waiting for another nice Carlton RC to pop up.

saucywombat · October 11, 2009 2:38AM

I picked up a PSA 10 Frank Thomas 1996 Finest Gold Refractor that Jackson_coupage had on the bay.

Nice card

sheeesh, forgot to add the year. 1967, Gibson was the winning pitcher.

natetrook · October 11, 2009 9:08AM

Had my eye on this puppy for my 1957 football set.
The card was a bit overpriced, but free with using my Ebay bucks.
Now, just down to 1 card. #152-Tank Younger.

1957 Earl Morrall RC #104

I bought a 1969 Milton Bradley Panel Willie Stargell Fryman PSA 7...

daddymc · October 13, 2009 9:04PM

<< I bought a 1969 Milton Bradley Panel Willie Stargell Fryman PSA 7... >>

Is that usually found as a perforated or hand cut issue and does it look like the 69 Topps issue? I have seen the 68s before but not sure about the 69s.

alnavman · October 13, 2009 9:09PM

haven't bought anything yet but need to start looking....only had about $11 but at least it's something.

Sportsamerica · October 13, 2009 9:36PM

I got this 1951 Red Back Spahn..

Spahn

Got this for $12 bucks after ebay bucks

I am fairly certain they could be perforated or not...I doubt there are many still intact after so many years...but then again could be wrong...

jimq112 · October 14, 2009 2:42AM

I put mine toward one of these. I've been buying these lately just in case. With bing cashback and ebay bucks you can get them for less than spot and it's never a bad idea to diversify.

indiana9495 · October 15, 2009 12:23AM

I put my $20 towards a Sammy Sosa single-signed baseball PSA authenticated. Not too bad for $100, after eBay bucks and already authenticated. I'm trying to get a single-signed ball from the members of the 500 HR Club minus Ruth, Ott, and Foxx. I'm just down to McGwire, Palmerio, and Ramirez now.
