I find it to be quite fun and with the protection of credit cards,
there isn't much of a risk. As long as you know what you are buying
and have an idea of what prices should be, you can do quite well.
I am setup to snipe a new valve for our pool filter, which would
normally cost a couple of hundred $, the auction is ending soon and I
think I will get a good deal on it. One of the secrets to successful
buying on eBay is to not be in a rush and remember, if you don't get
what you want the first time, another identical item will be along
shortly.
When it comes to technology, I try to avoid leading edge stuff,
instead opting to buy trailing edge, a year old computer is so much
cheaper than a new one, I would imagine the same applies to cameras,
at least it did when I played with photography as a hobby.
