Ever wondered where all those $50 iPods are?
That’s the promise of eBay and really, it doesn’t deliver. While there’s good deals available, the most popular categories of eBay – such as fashion and entertainment gizmos – have been swamped with excited buyers which really kill of any potential bargain.
However, a little scratching at the surface of eBay reveals that a world of genuine bargains exists for someone who looks hard enough.
Three immediate examples cross my mind:
1.) Stamps. If you write lots of letters or run a small business, you can regularly buy rolls of stamps for prices cheaper than the post office.
2.) Movie ticket vouchers. Sometimes there’s vouchers to specific movies but those Village cinema passes pop up a lot, and generally go for $10 each – a $5 saving per adult. Very creditable.
3.) Krispy Kreme vouchers. There’s a guy on eBay who sells a card for KK that allows you to buy one dozen and get one free. Great idea if you are hosting some sort of gathering.
Tell me readers, what are some great but less obvious bargains to be found on eBay that YOU have found? One rule: it can’t be a freak occurrence. It must be a product reliably available on eBay for good prices.
This is a bit of a project post to go on the front page of the website in a week.
