I was mowing on the lawn tractor and hit a thick, thick heavy patch of clover. Bound up the blade and snapped the new mower belt we recently bought for $26. Phooey!!
Instead of running to town for another, I thought I'd take a look on ebay. Low and behold - same mower belt for $15.50 including shipping! Seller has 99.8% positive feedback and ships priority mail. For over a $10 savings, I decided I could wait 2 or 3 days to get the belt instead of running to town now.
Anything you've found on ebay that was happily cheaper? What's your story?

That's a great savings. You were so smart to look there first. I have shopped on E-bay in over three years. I was kind of addicted so I stopped cold Turkey. I should give it another try in moderation though this time.

Before my little tale, I'd like to congratulate you on your excellent savings. Good work!
When I was homeschooling my youngest, his curricula were running around $370--I found a used 9th grade curriculum on ebay for $85. Needless to say, I was thrilled to no end with that bargain. :D
