Most of my 1100+ feedback rating (Red Star) came from selling rather than buying. I've sold more wooden spinners than I can count (but I'm pretty sure it's over 200), sold used books, mostly for $1, but once sold a 1931 ed. signed by the author for over $200, sold a USN flight jacket (no idea who that came from, father was US Army/Air force, & the jacket was too small to have come from one my linebacker-sized uncles) for over $400 (not to mention the $20-40 additional charge for shipping overseas), & i just came off a big weekend of wife's flower sales, well over $200, which gave me just enough to buy the refurb GPS unit I wanted/needed.

As a buyer, I'm very judicious, usually looking for cheap upgrades to my computer(s), altho I'm not quite as strict about the seller's FB as PF...as a seller myself, I know it's impossible to make everybody happy all the time...tho' the new FB calculation method by eBay has me back up to 100% again...

Some stuff is a real bargain at eBay, which I love as a buyer & despise as a seller, but in the area of real collectible items is a place where angels fear to tread...collectible musical instruments is a real nightmare, I've been looking for an extra amp head to match my vintage Sunn stacks, & I get pushed aside by the deep-pocket bidders every single time...
