Just read the thread about the sword on ebay. Man - you have to be really careful when buying things there. People have been trying to sell supposedly authentic civil war era bowie knives with no reserve. They are either crazy or are trying to con you. Hmmmm - let me which one would it be??!!! CON!!!!!!
I am sure that everyone here is practical and has a level head on thier shoulds but if you should happen to see that one thing that you really need at an unbeatable price - log off and think about it.
The old adage about "if seems too good to be true then it probably is" really rings true here.
I have not purchased anything like that but have been saved a couple of times by other bidders who have outbid me - much to my sober second thought relief. There can be some good deals but you really have to know your stuff.

I've been lucky, never got crap off eBay, and always got what I paid for. I've gotten a leg vise and blower off eBay, both in very good condition at a very good price, so there are deals there, but it takes persistence to wade through the garbage!

well blkbear good for you on getting good deals. I too have bought some cool stuff on ebay for a very reasonable price. I'm dumbfounded though by one of your countryman who must think a fool and his money are easily parted. Which I suppose they are! But yegods surely the postage and handling on an item the size of a two inch nail cannot reasonably amount to $24. And yegods again if you want two of these "nails" (actually a dremel bit) it'll cost another $24 for each additional item. see 280039955036
