What is the best bargin you have bought on an online auction site?

Asked by zookeeny (888points) January 15th, 2010

I just missed out on a bargin on trademe. I forgot to go back to bid and the winner got 6 new books for $2.50. Im gutted but that buyer got herself a pretty great deal. I am sure people have won much better auctions then that though! What have you ‘won’ a bid on and been totally blown away by your awesome bargin!! :)

My family got a pair of tower speakers for our home theatre system for $260 that were valued at $1500.

I recently bought a video camera doofer that looks like a car remote alarm thing on a key ring, it takes 640×480 video at 30fps and 2 megapixel pics, as good quality as my mobile phone, and it cost me 1cent, with $3.99 postage! (from China)
I love to shop on Ebay and try grab a bargain. I once bought an old caravan – 4 berth, lovely wee van it was, even had a microwave and portaloo in it – for £5.00 and it was only 30 miles away too. I used it for that summer and re-sold it for £200!
My absolute best buy though was a 1980’s Amstrad tower stereo stsyem, still in the original glass-fronted trolley case, with 3 foot high speakers in excellent working order for 99p. and I picked it up as it was only a few miles away! I still have it and the sound out of it is superb!
