LOVE to spend money? I do...and I eBay like crazy. A few months ago, I spent $3000...and I am nearing $500 in the past couple of days.
eBay makes getting things easy. Especially when you can't find what you are looking for locally. I just bought a diamond ring...books for my daughter...I buy ancient coins, books for myself...make-up, diet pills...Nutrisystem...sold out ballgame tickets...et cetera.
I think an open buying system, like eBay, is a GREAT thing. It helps people sell and make money off of things they no longer want and need and it allows people, like me, to buy things for a margin of the price. I have started collections that are priceless, to me, and not spent as much as I had planned, yet ended up with more than I expected.
What have others bought or sold on eBay? Anything shocking, exciting, rare?

I know someone who's sold a moldy plate of spaghetti for $50, a half-eaten bag of cheeto's for $100, and a scribbled-on piece of paper for $200. My mom got a cell phone and charger for $1.50 once.
A few years ago, somebody sold his "soul." It was obviously a cleaned-out Skippy peanut butter jar with the words "my soul" written on the side in Sharpie, but some freak bought it for $500. My dad thought it was hilarious - he just imagines this guy trying to do some Satanic ritual, only to have it go wrong or have nothing happen, because there really isn't a soul in the jar.
I am such a bad bargain hunter. I will just see something but and then discover that I could've bought it for way less. I think that is probably why eBay has never appealed to me. My father got hooked a while back but all he sold was stereo equipment. I think I may a page from the comment above and just start selling empty peanut butter jars and paper. Help fund my college education, buy my cheetos bag...

Chargers for things- you can never find them in a store, it's too expensive to buy a new piece of equipment, but the charger is only 99 cents on E-bay.
