Firstly, you can find practically *anything* there. Seriously. They’re talking electronics, cars (though, good luck getting a decent price on a motor, tbh), fashion – from Sezane jumpers (someone’s selling a sage green Leon one, apparently!) to, like, whatever else floats your boat. And then there’s the whole world of collectibles. I saw something about Greece and China stamps from 2004, which is…specific, I gotta say. But hey, someone’s gonna want ’em.
I always seem to end up poking around the “Irish Books” section myself. Trying to find a good deal on some Yeats poetry or maybe a first edition of a Flann O’Brien, ya know? Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes it’s all overpriced tat. Just gotta keep diggin’, like finding buried treasure. There’s even mentions of 18th century books, proper antique stuff. Imagine owning a book that old! Mad, isn’t it?
Here’s the thing about eBay.ie, right? It’s a complete gamble. You can find *amazing* deals, things you wouldn’t believe. I once got a vintage leather jacket for, like, a tenner! But then there’s the other side – the dodgy sellers, the items that “aren’t quite as described,” and the delivery charges that could bankrupt ya. It’s a total rollercoaster, I tell ya.
And, of course, it’s eBay, so you’re dealing with auctions, “Buy It Now” options, and that eternal battle of trying to snipe the winning bid in the last 5 seconds. Stressful, much? But also kinda addictive. It’s like a treasure hunt, but with the potential to lose all your money.
One thing I will say, and this is just me being biased, but I think the “Irish Books” section is the best part. You can find some proper hidden gems there, even if they’re a bit dusty. I once found this old book of Irish folklore tales, and it was like stepping back in time. Definitely worth the occasional scroll through, even if it’s just to look at old coins. There was a 1941 half crown mentioned, apparently quite rare! Wish I had the dough to snap that up.
