Show off your Ebay finds and purchases

[rue]

I keep seeing people mentioning things they find on ebay in different threads (the tie thread or any of the many things Marc Chevalier finds, for example), and I thought it would be easier if there was a specific thread we could post on to show off what we bought or if anyone finds a great deal. I looked but didn't see one.

Anyway.... here's what I bought recently:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...0&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123#ht_2113wt_1398 (great store for sunglasses and I found them thanks to the Fedora Lounge!)

If anyone finds a great deal or buys something, I'd love to see it

Edited to add:
*Please add the links too, so people can find the sellers in case they have other great finds and as Marc said "it also saves winners the time and effort of uploading pictures onto photo-hosting websites, then posting links over here to those hosted pictures."

Great shades....How is the moving and settling in going?

Thanks Kirk
So far so good, thanks for asking!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Great idea, Rue!


I recently won a vintage leather pocket watch lapel strap after years of trying to obtain one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/180722990386 I'll wear it on a tweed jacket.

They were originally made for British military officers in World War I. In the 1930s, fancier examples were marketed to Americans.

Thank you

Wonderful find Marc!

Thank you

Wonderful find Marc!

He always has great finds. I am starting to feel like someplace there has to be a manual I never got issued for treasure hunting! Really! And it is not just that he finds great items, he really knows the good from the bad, and should be working for some art institution in the vintage clothing department as well as having his own store/business!

And you started this thread like putting bread on a plate with butter on it! Hahah!

Wonderful V.C.!
You should put the links too, so people can find the sellers in case they have other great finds

Agreed. Links to completed auctions also save winners the time and effort of uploading pictures onto photo-hosting websites, then posting links over here to those hosted pictures.

In searching for a nice watch deal on eBay, I did notice some similar watches from that area of the world. How well do you rate some of the Soviet Watches? I know nothing about them and stayed away from getting any of them, due to lack of knowledge.

I've had Vostok watches before -- they're actually quite good for the money though for some reason they all seem to run five minutes fast. They're as solid as a T-34 tank.

 

[LoveMyHats2]

Thanks for that input.

I found this sink and it would be perfect in my house....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280744484787&fromMakeTrack=true#ht_500wt_1413

The only problem is they won't ship it out here and it's in Sycamore, IL

Waiting to hear the measurements and see who I can get to pick it up and ship it to me

I think Tom might be going on a roadtrip soon.

I think that might be too far for him, but.... "ohhhh..... little brother... can you pick something up for me?".....

Sycamore is about 30 miles southeast of Rockford
and more or less a straight shot down I-39 from Pardeeville
