The main thing I miss about that is if you knew your friends IDs, you could see what they were bidding on.
It helped me and a couple other people that bought a lot of the same stuff coordinate so we didn't run things up on each other.
Of course that only worked if we weren't sniping it. |
I was amused to see someone bidding on a bunch of fisting porn. I didn't shake his hand at the next swap meet. And no, I won't say who it was....

There's a guy on this site that used to buy a lot of domination stuff.
It wasn't someone I have ever met but we used to bid on similar VW-related things years ago so I was watching him for what I missed for a long time to get more search terms.
His listing of wins was VW/VW/VW/Leather underwear/VW/VW/Leather mask
It was pretty consistent with the leather goods too.
I mostly found it funny because I was like how much leather stuff do you need if are you into that?

On the other hand, one can never get enough VW stuff.  |

Interesting reading. I have a few items Iβd like to sell, some old drafting/drawing items and GI Joe stuff.
When researching alternatives to E-Bay, it seemed most were not going to suit me, but I think the GI Joe stuff could be sold locally through Craigslist or FaceBook market place easily.
I searched recent completed sales on the drafting items on E-Bay and concluded they are probably worth the effort to list on E-Bay and it seems like the only place I stand of getting enough money to make it worthwhile, even if barely so.
Iβm surprised with the complaints about E-Bay, and Craigslist, that no real contenders have emerged.
