    I've been seeing a lot of low prices on ebay lately and I wasn't sure or not if I should buy on ebay. [​IMG] I was thinking after I bought them I would resell them. Does anyone else do this, if so, or if not, why?

    Nope.

    All the products that I bought from Ebay is for my own use.

    I never use eBay. :p
    And even if I would have purchased anything, I must not have resold it.

    I was an Ebayer, and have over 1000 feedback...:)

    Haven't had much to do with it lately, though I did buy a designer coat for my dog recently. The strength I see in Ebay is the garage sale idea, the ability to buy unique items that would be hard to find at a store. For example, Tupperware quit making those popsicle makers, and I couldn't find them anywhere but Ebay. I bought a ring from a witches coven selling on Ebay that was very unusual. I was on there a few weeks ago looking at an antique photo of a Pit Bull in the early 1900's, and was thinking of getting that. I don't know though, it's kind of lost it's charm, as the emphasis now is on large companies that sell stuff you can already find at any store, and Ebay has become kind of boring.

    eBay is a flea market, you will not make money reselling.

    buying it from craigs was more effective to be honest... some ppl from craigslist are computer illiterate dont meant to insult them but im saying theyre not aware of ebay and thye just prefer not to deal with it so they want to sell it locally...
