We all know there are those among us who might buy or sell the occasional piece of golf equipment on ebay. :roll: *cough* *cough* HOs *cough*

But I was wondering what other sort of things you guys might be trading on ebay.

I haven't made that many purchases, but up until now we (as in the missus and I) have bought maternity clothes, CDs, PS2 games and a game at Brooky. I have also sold a couple of PS2 games.

At the moment I am on the hunt to buy a couple of books, and a freezer. :shock: (Damn baby, taking up all the freezer space)

:?: What are you guys doing on ebay besides looking at golf gear?

I bought a golf club (975D) a few years ago, but that's it as far as the HO-ing goes. These days, my wife is an avid buyer of maternity and baby stuff. She's also going through selling off all of excess junk. She's sold off all my motorbike gear and some clothes etc.. She's eyeing off my beloved Tommy Armour 855s at the moment.... :shock:

We're looking out for a chest freezer as well. Only way to live to a budget, is to buy and store stuff in bulk....

We've bought and sold the odd thing on ebay. Robyn's got 1940 positives so far, 0 negs. She's also got some other ebay id's she uses so lets just say a lot of stuff.

Funny enough hardly any are golf related.

She's sold anything from old clothes, she used to sell dvd's until the market became saturated. Second hand clothes from op shops. Even web page design.

Actually when she was selling dvd's she was a power seller so she was moving some stock, not making much tho.

[-X Golf clubs must be offered at OZgolf.net first. ;)

I think the missusususes prefererence is an upright freezer ATM, but they are a bit rare and expensive, so we will probably end up going for a chest freezer.
I saw one in the completed ebay auctions for $35 from Middle Park. #-o

So Goughy, how many of those 1940 +'s are her own? ;) :lol:

Been looking at mountain bikes lately, but having no idea about them, i can't tell what's dodgy other than the, erm, 'english' it's written in. Mind you, through friends we've come across an 'As New' (apparently ridden 1/2 dozen times) 15 gear mountain bike with helmet for $120 8)

Who needs eBay :?: :!:

pretty much everything i can find i've bought on ebay, i started in 1998 with a different username so im missing a bunch of feedback from my early days.

pc games, music memorabilia, bootlegs, cd's, rogaine, mountain bike gear, clothes, mobile batteries, the occasional piece of golf equipment :roll: , teetimes, cosmetics, art, stuff for the cats, rare first edition beat novels.....

lately im seeking the pc bits aplenty but with resitricted funds it's mainly window shopping and "cor, look at the price o dat!"

clearing out some books at the moment, classic 1984 era fighting fantasy, probably a slew of forgotten realms/dragonlance stuff shortly once i get around to sorting out my book boxes.

alos seeing how the transformers market is holding...i got a number of mint pieces i will shift eventually

I've bought clothes - a few shirts and a pair of shorts. Tupperware is also great on ebay.

We are probably heading to Africa on a camping safari in Dec/Jan as well - so I'm keeping an eye on sleeping bags, backpacks and thermarests.

Have got a wide assortment from Ebay - everything from a 6 man tent to baby socks ( they were real cheap - but pretty dumb buy cos I don't have a baby!!). Yesterday I received a 100ml Ralph Lauren fragrance for about half retail price.
Bought a great bed for my dog.........he loves it.
I haven't sold anything as yet - but my daughter is in the process of cleaning out her wardrobe. I think I'll suggest she looks at selling some of it on ebay.

i always look on ebay for any new purchase being considered.

When Charlotte was born, I fitted out her entire nursery form ebay purchases (cot, change table etc)

The bride was against it at first, but she came around when I added up the savings

I was considering replacing my sunnies off ebay, but sunnies are an easy thing to fake. How did you confirm they were legit Courty?

The seller has 000's of transactions with 100% positive. They also state 100% authentic and offer a money back guarantee.
I've been trading online for long enough to have a pretty good idea when something looks suspicious. I'm comfortable that this purchase will be authentic.

They can't be too bad if military if the US & Australian military use them. That's good enough for me.

Are you familiar with the concept of the low bid contractor?

Oakleys are as good as anything, the bottom line is if they meet the standard, they meet the standard. Defence don't issue them other than their ballistic goggles for certain jobs, but Oakley do give a handy discount on their military range to Defence personnel:

Coolest thing out.
