I joined in July 2005. I am already at a rating of 100% from 124 people. I buy everything on there that I can. I used to buy like 10 movies a week but I stoped because I only watch them once and then never see them again.

I love ebay. I am looking for a new 1200 watt amp

Just bought two near mint US Amps. An old school TU4360 and 05' AX2000, both near mint, for under 800 bucks.

Feels like theft sometimes.
was the '05 AX2000 from a guy who went by the name 'woofercooker' or something like that? Out of Rochester NY?

^^^ I know exactly what you mean. Although generally speaking if I'm pissed off it means that the item was worth more to me than I originally thought; I should have bid more, but didn't realize it until I lost the auction.

I have 200+ feedback, been trading for about a year. Bidding can be fun and sometimes its difficult to not make emotional decisions.

Not to **** on anyone's parade, but we should never forget that it is theft sometimes. I wonder what percentage of "deals" on eBay are stolen goods.

I have learned to restrain myself on ebay... after I picked up 3 rubbermaid containers worth of hotwheels in a year

Now I have a whole new field of accessories to buy with the Hearse.. Time to heat up the Visa..

Nothing ive ever bought was listed as "stolen", so i could care less. Not my problem. All items were presumably purchased legitimately by the seller.

Id bet a good deal of items were stolen, but its not my concern. Im never going to curb my buying because some five-finger lowlife may have taken it without permission. Never. You may, he may, she may.....thats great, cuz then i get it cheaper.

I meant that the deals are so inexpensive that sometimes it feels like theft. Rhetorically speaking of course.

Yes from Rochester, but not woofercooker. idblbruno. As you may know he had 0 feed, and it was a risk, but he was open to local pick-up. So i bid. (Father lives in NY.) I threw a decent low price at one to see where it was headed, and sniped the other. Under closed item, it sold for 380. Not bad for a 05 2000. The older versions sell around 500 all day. Since some believe, often mistakenly, that newer = better, i will be fine on resale, i assure you.

Finding a NM O/S TU4360 is hard enough, sniping it for 400 is even harder.

Was a good weak.

Over 8oo combined feed from 2 accounts. 3/4 of the deals i get....close early, and run behind the scenes. Over 3/4 dont leave feedback.

Yea, i eBay ALOT.

What's wrong with that? That's not even half of what I've got.
