Ebay just released accumulated Ebay Bucks today and I wasted no time in redeeming a few of them. They ran a couple nice 5% promotions leading up to Thanksgiving and Christmas which gave me the opportunity to bid on a couple items and pay for them 100% with the bucks. Here is the first item won and paid for with the bucks. What will you get 100% paid for with yours? I'm a "hound" for these large bronze medals lately. Z
Ahhh, what did it used to be? Well that's a long story - back in the good days - so I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say.
I just bought 3-2021 ASE type 1 with my eBucks net cost $16.25 each. I was going to buy some n scale track but they were sold out before I received my eBucks. I've been using most of my eBucks to buy ASEs
I remember... They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
5% used to be the standard everyday earning rate. Occasionally an 8 or even 10% bucks would appear. Now they've dropped it to 1% standard and occasionally a 5% appears. And it always appears after I buy something major or when I don't need to buy anything. Rarely hit it. I used to have $50 to $100 in ebay bucks occasionally. Now I'm lucky to hit $25 in a quarter. Think I've got $24 sitting there right now. Will probably use it on a coin since it's the only bonus perk ebay allows to be used on coins anymore and that will probably be short lived.
I meant to use mine on a slabbed Trade Dollar for my type coin set, but completely forgot until after the transaction lol. Looking for a nice slider AU Shield nickel to fit in, as all my other nickels are uncirculated. I figured with $27 in Bucks I could cut 1/3 to 1/2 off the cost (certified high AU shields seem to run for $80-$90, raw for a bit less).
