The Thrift Meister has found
Ebay a great source of savings. The trick with using
Ebay is to know what kind of items readily lend themselves
to be purchased there and what kind require more caution.
For instance the Thrift Meister
regularly buys items that are considered consumer non-durables
there such as batteries, print cartridges, razor blades, even
after shave lotion. These are simple straight forward items
that not much can go wrong with them. The kind of items to
stay away from are those with lots of moving parts which are
much more likely to have a product defect which require returning
it. For example, a VCR has plenty of moving parts and much
more could go wrong with it than a battery.
Then you have to contact an online supplier
and decide who pays shipping etc. all of which is more complicated
than just returning it to a store. Of course, this is not
to say that sufficient savings on a product shouldn't make
you take a risk with an Ebay seller just think through
the process of what could go wrong and how you would correct
it before buying.
And, of course check the seller's rating
before buying to see if previous buyers have given them positive
feedback.
Don't just limit your Ebay
experience to buying items on the cheap--you can sell items
of your own to raise cash as well.
