skyringSomeone was fussing on chit-Chat about the use of BookCrossing on eBay. I took a look at the item and it seemed fairly innocuous. But somehow the site must have stuck in my head, because this arvo I found myself going through the site looking for old SPI boardgames. I was looking for bargains - I know the values of most of these things and I found a few that were undervalued. I put in a few bids on the offchance that they would stay that way. Buying a $50 game for $10 leaves me a considerable amount of room for profit, even including postage.
A thought crept through my mind, and I entered "West Wing" as a search term. And before I knew it, I had bought a series 5 DVD set for $AUS75, which is a big saving on the same item new in the shops. Such a fine show! Looking forward to this immensely. I'll watch an episode a day at lunchtime.

I get lots of motorcycle parts there. And, once, a laptop screen.
