got nothing to do on a typical sunday evening..oh boy do i need to find work..

anyway got browsing on ebay when i thought...

whats your best purchase , whether it be a bargain or a brill item
and your worst item you bought.

mine worst could well be the business opportunities on various things which may have totted up to a grand,
and then there were the 2 pioneer head units, which is still lying around on my bedroom floor.

my best purchase could well be, my kenwood 7200 head unit with the bluetooth thing for a tad over £60

RB5_245

Best purchase - a toy batman gauntlet with various different attachment, which I had sent to my brother. He was entirely confused until a few days later it was followed by a ladies had and shoes, thermocouple and toilet roll holder and he figured out what was going on.

Worst purchase - A set of colourful belly button rings, they sent them to me instead of the name and address I had requested, waste of £2

EddScott

Best Purchase - Bulk collection of Transformer toys. Seller tried to rip me off the £300 I paid for them. Threatened him with the law and they arrived. Took out the ones I was collecting and sold the rest for £500 individually.

Worst Purchase - Brakes, Seats, Wheels, Spoiler off a written off P1. Discs and pads on the Alcons were wrecked, Seats were damaged, wheels marked and bald tyres. Spoiler chipped to heck. Cost me £1000.

Mind you, I later replaced the top half of my P1 spoiler and sold the top half only to a lad in the US for £240. He also paid the £140 (exactly what FEDEX charged me) to ship it to him!

I've bought some cracking stuff on Ebay before. Like the plates I bought my mum last year from a discontinued line. They were all perfect and less than original price. I tend to look there before buying anywhere else online.

I bought a pair of shoes once which were the best shoes I've ever bought. They were less than a tenner from Hong Kong and when I wore them, everybody thought they were designer and I must have paid hundreds for them. They were brill!

Worst has got to be various shoes I've bought and never worn!

OllyK

Best buy - Double Garage door for 99p
Worst buy - nothing really, always managed to re-sell on eBay.

ScoobyDoo555
