i rarely use eBay now, the good deals are long gone. I think you can onlly get good deals on very rare stuff nobody knows about.

eBay is good for some things... I've gotten great deals on ethernet cables. Also, it's the only place to find those really really random weird things that only a certain number of individuals have and sell... like vintage baseball hats :D

Too true. Ebay uses the whole "winning" terminology. I used to say I won an auction, till my friend got on me about it. So when talking to him I'll phrase it like, "I won the legal requirement to pay for an item for a specified price" on ebay.

We are lame.


yes your are
 
eBay is ABSOLUTELY a seller's market, based on my experiences as both a buyer and a seller. There are legions of knobs out there willing to pay top dollar for absolute *****, so there are very few actual deals to be had out there anymore. There's a running joke on the MR forums about taking any Macs we don't want and selling them on eBay, because the knobs will pay inflated prices for even the older machines. This time of year is even worse--best time to be a seller. If you want the best deals, do your eBaying in the summer when people aren't spending as much time on the internet.

As to the original question, I hear Hammersnipe is a good site for sniping.
