[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 24674414, member: 27832"]Nearly all my buying falls into the "bargain-hunting" category. I used to camp on eBay Buy It Now listings, sorted by "newly listed", looking for things that were clearly underpriced. I got some big scores that way (and gave quite a few sellers a chance to get off the hook for an obvious price typo; I'm not one to scream and insist that they make good on a listing mistake). But the bargains are few and far between, and I eventually found other things I'd rather do with my time. I'll still occasionally stop by a pawn shop looking for good stuff that's priced the same as bad stuff, but it's been a few years since I've had a good find from that. And, of course, I always check my pocket change and those CoinStar return slots. :rolleyes: I have NOT been tempted to search other online marketplaces (Etsy, Facebook market-whatever, and so on). It took me a long time to develop my bargain-spotting and scam-spotting skills just for eBay; I'm [I]definitely[/I] not interested in starting that process again in a new spot.[/QUOTE]
