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.

I've bought some different plant seeds off of ebay that I got dirt cheap, LOL. I couldn't resist the pun. There are some sellers that sell in bulk so I bought a lot and shipping did not cost much since the seeds are so light. Good for you finding a great deal for the mower belt. My Aunt's riding mower broke down last week and my husband and I have no idea what the problem is. We used two gas mowers to mow her lawn and it took us an entire day to do it. I got a sunburn that day, but it is healing nicely as I took care of it over the weekend.

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

I usually use ebaay to buy YuGiOh cards for my kids. Or a PC game for myself. I usually save about 60% off book price for the cards. And my Pc games I have saved over $30 compared to the prices in the store. Great example is I bought dungeon Lords for $15 including shipping. In the store it was $50 at Wal-Mart.
