We've been very lucky with eBay recently, won a few things for a real knock down price. What's your fave eBay [urchase?

We got a BBQ this week (lava rock, gas burners, etc etc) for £3.20 this week! OK, it needs a clean uip and heat paint but still a real bargain.

Bought our old Hartford XXL from pre loved, £150!

Without doubt my best ebay bargain has been our Aldi (Aventuridge)240/12v electric coolbox, which cost me £10.
OK it was another £8 p&p but when they are normally £35 very pleased with myself.

Best wishes Sam

Best camping eBay bargain would have to be our first tent - a Sunncamp APS 3006+ which I got for £38!! Sadly the mice got to it after 2 seasons.

Also got some lovely pink flowery folding chairs - 2 for £10 including delivery.

Got a Cabanon kitchen tent (PN20) for £35 as the listing said handy tent (like the argos one) but green canvas.........put 2 and 2 together and thought for a punt it could be what I wanted and it was!!

Had lots of bargain frame tents (made offers before the end date), that I've lovingly looked after and repaired where neccessary and sold on for a little profit.

I think I just like buying tents, not using them then selling on...

i think our recent purchase of a cabanon rotonde frame tent is up there with the bargains especially as the seller lived in the same town as us so only had to travel about 6 miles to pick it up all for the bargain price of £95 we are well pleased!!!!!

Not exactly a bargain, but I love our new melamine dinner set. I'd been searching for ages for one but they all have naff patterns on them. This one is orange with cream insides and is sort of a rounded triangular shape, so retro you'd think it was genuine 50s/60s but is in fact brand new.
