Ebay Shopping

I absolutely hate clothes shopping and pretty much wear a garment until my wife makes me throw it away. Though I have bought a few pairs of jeans and shirts off Ebay in the past, I am fixing to start doing so on a regular basis. I just bought 2 shirts and and a pair of jeans tonight and saved a bundle this time.
Last weekend in Dallas, I bought a Columbia PFG "fishing" shirt at Academy for $40+tax, but I just bought 2 of them off Ebay for $40 shipped to my house. I generally pay $26+tax for my Wrangler jeans, and I just bought one pair for $14.50 shipped.
If I can "save" money like that on a regular basis, I can easily justify more gun and scopes.

Just as long as you don't go naked the rest of society will be happy!
But yeah I've bought most everything on Ebay and saved money. Been buying Wranglers there for years. Even the Tempo spray that the local pesticide house wouldn't sell me because I wasn't a licensed applicator. So I saved money on it and didn't have to leave home to get it!

Tempo is an over the counter insecticide and doesn't require a license. Somebody doesn't know their business in your area.

That is true from what I understand. However they wouldn't sell it to a 'citizen'. Just a 'prick' thing. Too stupid to realize that it cost them profits...

I've saved thousands shopping on eBay over the years. Since they quite allowing sales of gun barrels, etc., I don't shop there as much but still visit occasionally. I had a recent success at "sniping" there; outbid someone on a high end scope in the amount of $1.55.

I have bought 2 Swarovskis off Ebay in the last couple of weeks, and it appears that no one is spending money on scopes right now. I paid more than I really intended for the first one but still about $550 less than Cameraland, but I pretty much stole the second scope.
