OKC, OK ebay madness

Ok, I'm taking Brian's suggestion to heart and re-aquainting myself with the boards.

This thread (since the last ebay one was locked) exists to cuss and discuss all that is the empire of ebay. Love it or hate it ebay is like riding a mo-ped---fun to do, but you never want to let your friends see you do it!

Want to share a great bargain? or maybe just an interesting auction? ever been ripped-off or scammed? Here is the thread to let it all out!

Let the ebay-ing begin!!

 

The sheer amount of cra-, um, stuff that is out there for star wars collectors is mind-boggling. And what drives one to collect depends on several variables, including time, money, space, and money. Did I mention money? Also, the love and passion for the thrill of the hunt itself!

However, unique doesn't always have to translate to expensive--these are the types of things I enjoy finding the most!

Example: Who doesn't have a grandparent or great aunt or someone in their family with the ubiquitous collection of "Family vacation" spoons displayed in the hall next to your hideous junior high picture?

No spoon collection would be complete without this lovely set of star wars spoons

Okay, so it's not SW(Sue me).
