I'm not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it's probably more than the number of persons I can fit.

Every electronic I own is basically from an eBay auction. It's a great place to buy from, their buyer protection is borderline too good... not such a great place to sell on. Although, what are you going to do, go to their other big competitors?..

So you use the actual auctions, and not just "buy it now"?

I remember back in the day when all they had were auctions, it was novel and cool. Then they added "buy it now" and the site slowly turned into Amazon.

95% of the time I do the auctions. Only do buyitnow if no other options, which isn't super common. I have got Ipads for 30-50 that still have a good battery even after using them for a couple years. A $50 laptop that does anything you would normally want a laptop to do. 8 kindles for $45 of which I sold 4 of them to my aunt for $45 to sell at a flea market and I kept and gave away the other four. 3 gallons of Legos for like $10... the list just keeps going.
