Buying more or less on eBay?

[mikesilvia]

I'm curious. Are you buying more cards or less cards on eBay? I know there are a lot of people that haven't been effected by the terrible economy and are taking advantage of lower prices on eBay. Obviously, there are many that are reducing their spending as well.

I have been taking advantage of some low BIN "best offer" opportunities.
How about you?

I am still buying but i dont spend more than $3 on a single card.

About the same. I've always been picky with which sellers and how much I want to spend on certain cards, and continue to do so.

Buying on eBay because the cards are do darn cheap.

My spending has definately decreased with money being so tight.

Increased buying, actually. But I attribute that to selling some cards to narrow down my PC focus, so I have money from that rather than just outright spending.

Although, aside from that, I pretty much limit eBay purchases to $40-50/month at the absolute most. Doesn't seem like a lot (or maybe it does, but to me I think it is a regular amount - not insane but not paltry for when I see a card I really like), but I make my money work well either way. The most I have ever spent on a single card is $60, so I'm not really a high-end buyer.

well i have stayed the same, i buy a few things every now and then, but nothing highend usually pay $4-$8 per card that i want, i also take advantage of cheap shipping discounts with the same seller :)

if/when i get a job, i think they'll be an increase ;)

Not buying at all. With eBay demanding use of electronic payment I pretty much stopped, hadn't been buying much anyway. I will not use credit to finance what amounts to unnecessary spending and I dislike PayPal from experience. Having to have the cash in hand for cards, makes me very selective in what I buy, I have a lot of the Fox cards that come up anyhow and the ones I don't are beyond my budget.

i have spent a little more than usual... like you said... there are some great deals out there... i also like to take advantage of cheap shipping and auctions ending at weird time of the night

Vintage is getting dirt cheat on ebay, taking advantage of that. Overall, I'm buying more.
