Well, I finally broke down and got an eBay account. And just won my first auction.





What can I say, I really regretted not making the effort to get hold of one of these posters when [livejournal.com profile] justacat, [livejournal.com profile] shayheyred and I were over for the play last year. And now it's mine, all mine!



I'm in such trouble.

When you do a search (e.g., "Professionals poster") and it spits out results, there is a link over on the right hand side of the page that says something like "Add to favorite searches". Click that, and it will let you name the search and save it for a period of time (up to a year). Their computer runs a search on every favorite search you list and emails you the results once a day, if there's something new in your search result. Be sure to set it to "new listing" otherwise the default is "ending soon".

Favorite sellers: 45Doyle, valariats, bobacarol, laconstans, bdc-hbk, bandit2142, tallon2003. When you go see someone's listings, there is a link that says "add this person as a favorite seller." If you do that, it will again set up an email system to let you know if something new is listed by that person, but not daily--those are shipped weekly, which sometimes can be too late if they run a short sale. Then under "My eBay" on the lefthand side, there is something called "All Favorites"--you'll see your saved favorite searches and sellers listed there.

Be aware that some people list things under the incorrect category. I see posters, magazines, books and mugs come up in the DVD category on a regular basis, since people think, "Oh, Pros is a tv show, and it's on DVD, that must be where I put this listing." So you may think you don't ever need to search the DVD category, but don't be so sure.

I accept responsibility. But not for your checkbook!
