    Anyone else?? I always have BS posted on there to sell, usually multiple items and I am always finding something I think I need. Today it was turkey decoys and ATV bags.... lol

    I did the same thing. I usually just think it through and end up not buying as much

    I don't buy too much... I'm only blowing the money already in my paypal that came from selling my junk on Ebay in the first place. A slush fund of sorts...

    But I spend too much time stalking specific auctions in an attempt to place a last second bid a steal things cheap.

    well you could always get me a 10-24mm f/2.8 lens for my canon, that would help you empty out the slush fund to break your addiction.... just sayin'

    I usually prowl ebay, but hardly ever buy anything. The last ebay purchase was 200 feet of reflective black 550 paracord last summer. Im constantly searching for a diesel truck on there relatively cheap though.

    Yeah I look a lot but not a lot of buying. If I see something relatively cheap that I want I usually pick it up so I don't miss out on the deal

    I'll get right on that Mark...

    I have found that many of these online sites / Ebayers especially when it comes to outdoor gear, will post multiple auctions for the same item at the same time. One or two of the auctions end up getting little to no attention.... I watch it till the last moment then snatch it up for a dollar or two..... while the other auctions are finishing around (todays instance) 20-30 $

    I do over half of my online shopping via eBay. Ill research elsewhere, price comparison a few sites, then go to ebay and purchase the item from a small dealer usually at a highly discounted price. Buy everything from fletching glue to camo to broad heads, etc etc as the list goes on...
