In 2000 I bought a camera body (film) off Ebay. That was the first and only thing I bought from them. I just prefer stores I can walk in.

A Friend ask me to get him something off of Ebay.

Sure, little request for a friend.

It went well and then I found something I wanted.

Then it just SnowBalled.

231 Trans-actions and only one bad deal.My Fault, didn't look at the pics good enough.. I just assumed everything was there.

Ya now what happens when you Assume.

You make an As(s) out of U and Me.

I'd say that is pretty good odds..

Spring of 2000 I joined and made my first bids, a few weeks later my first win. Complete TPI air filter box for a Camaro. Fun car, shoulda held on to that one.

My memory is terrible from pain meds. But, I can remember the first kit I bought on the 'bay. It was the Monogram F-150 High Roller sometime in '07. I still have it and I still haven't built it!

First and last item I bought on eBay was a passenger's side grille insert for a '71 Dodge Charger. That was in 2006. I sold a few items on eBay as well, but I haven't even logged in in about five or six years.

Mine was in 2002, I remember being skeptical so I started small I got a good deal on a bagged 82ish mpc mustang. After that was completed I recognized the potential for being able to find all those vintage kits that I couldn't find locally. Later I learned patience will get me that old kit for the right price.

Joined yesterday, haven't bought anything yet. I'll be sure and write it down for Harry though !

[Daddyfink]

It was a model and it was in sometime in the mid 90's

[LokisTyro]

I bought a few LEDs for my DD in '09.

I don't remember what the first thing I purchased was, but I remember that I was in a hotel room after being Best Man in my best friend's wedding. Back in 1998 before I had a laptop, and WiFi was ubiquitous, this hotel had a little computer "terminal" (flat screen monitor and keyboard with touchpad) mounted into the wall as a desk. I'm not a drinker and my significant other at the time couldn't/wouldn't come all the way to Philadelphia (from Cleveland at the time), so I was bored and wide awake at 1:00am so I figured I'd look up this whole "eBay" thing.

1999 for me, and my first purchase was a set of chrome inner grille surrounds for my Barracuda. Since that purchase its been a steady rotation of Car Parts, Models, or Basses/Music items.

I bought Nissan Skyline R32 taillights for my S10.. Got the set with housings for $100. There wasn't a scratch on them. I am pretty sure it was in 2001.
