| It's being taken over by shops and big companies selling brand new stuff and that was just not the point of eBay IMO. Also if you ever look for anything electrical you're forced to wade through all the junk from Hong Kong or China etc. Shame. |

I agree...
on look out for a couple of stats and everything is 'buy it now' and there is very little saving...
is becoming a waste of time even looking... |

if you do a search on ebay when it comes up you could just look at the auction only ones, you never know you might pick up a bargain, especially if it finishes around 11.30-12.00 in the day.
Dave, did you get any hoggies today? |

Thats great, how much did you get it for?
Just seen it, well done, tuesday and wednesdays are the best days of the week to get bargains on ebay, especially during the day..saturday used to be good to, in the afternoon and evening, but since this recession has started its not so good.. |

| £10 plus £6.50 postage, I was going to go to a max of £13.50, which would mean the stat for £20 total, which is still a lot cheaper than brand new. Maybe some of my faith in eBay has been restored lol. |

| if your after bargains do a better searc and give it a guide price in the search like 0.99-15.00 for example, or you could cut the buy it now stuff...and just search auctions only.. |
