Check it every day looking for bits for my baby, and never had a bad experience with anything I've bought.

I've bought 3 items this week, one for the bike and two for me:D

I got about a 50-50 ratio of stuff turning up and being total piles of sh1te ..

For some reason I still keep buying stuff... seems most bike stuff is sold by crooks ... :cry:

I find its OK if you want stuff that nobody else does, I bought some old bits for my winter pedal bike and it cost me a couple of quid, but I'm after some retro cycling jerseys and they can go for stupid money. I was bidding on some lights last week, that were crazy, they went for more money than I sourced a new set from by buying from another website.

You just have to watch you dont get carried away thats all, I am checking it pretty much everyday at the mo as theres a few items I'm quite interested in... so at the moment erh yeah I could quit if I wanted to !! :D

I am... The bad news is when you go on it not to find something, but to find out what's for sale, that leads to bad ideas. But then, my bike is Ebay through and through, and I've done some very good deals there (bought my twin exhaust for £200, sold it 6 months later for £540... Bought an R6 exhaust for £90, sold it for £210... Just bought a barely scuffed-in Diablo for 99p :smt103)

Just made a small profit on a leather jacket that I purchased in August, no idea what made me buy it in the first place as it was red & black, my bike is blue :) Madness!!

Usually e-bay suck when I am selling on it, although my wife has 150+ feedback as a seller, all of my feedback 28 is as a buyer.
