I collect angels that play the flute (I've played since I was in grade 7) -- figurines, christmas ornaments, anything that has that image -- my collection is up over 100. I look for them on ebay occasionally -- I've found some really old ones that normally I would never come across. :)

I'm looking to start a craft business (possibly) and I've started to price some supplies on there to see if it's cost-effective.

I buy whatever I happen to be looking for at the time. In the last few weeks I bought a digital camera, camcorder, DVD movies and food coupons. I have bought over 150 items and only had one problem. Guy sold me a Sears electric grass clipper as new and it was used.

I LOVE Ebay........................I love vintage clothes and things so Ebay is the best place to find unique items(I look around at second hand stores when I have the time).

I have sold tons of things on Ebay as well. Just bought another pair of Uggs for myself-retail therapy for my stress :lol:

I'm an eBay junkie! I buy a lot of new clothes, even gently used clothes for myself and my kids all the time. I like the name brands without the name brand prices. I also sell items on occasion to support my habit! :P
