Lots of stuff, i generally look around the shops first then i check ebay as you can generally get it alot cheaper.

Lately ive bought OPK's/Pregnancy tests
Iphone covers

Currently watching a murder mystery pack which retails for $200 and its on there for $30. Also watching lots of barbie party stuff for my DD's birthday and invitations for mine and DD's birthday.

Generally i wouldnt buy clothes for me off there due to my body shape but i have bought kids clothes etc from there before.

Second hand toys. It is no use buying my kids new stuff as they look second hand within 5 minutes of them opening the packet. So I only buy second hand for up to 10% of the new price.

Loads of stuff - I sell, too.

Recently we have bought lego, a twin pram and bassinet attchment, some foam letters for the bath, old maps, etc, etc

I sell anything I no longer have a use for - an old desk, our cast iron fireplace - whatever. It's easier to sell most stuff, even for $1, just to have someone take it away !

My dp buys car parts, this week I have won some baby clothes, and my bargain of the year so far, a digital camera with everything, barely used for $18, I feel bad the seller didn't get more for it, they go for $200 in the shops.
