Ebay Bucks Coming Soon…How to spend?

mrmopar · Sep 28, 2015

I think there is usually a thread each quarter where people share what they bought. I wasn't looking for that as much as how people end up spending their bucks.

I have always wanted to go out and buy something I wouldn't normally buy, but the reality is, if I want it (and can afford it), then I buy it! If I don't buy it, it is probably because the seller wants too much for it. I keep thinking some day I will look at the bucks as a way to defer the cost of a higher priced item I want but am unwilling to buy at the asking price, but quarter in and out, I never use that logic and always just ending up paying for my regular items a bit at a time until it is gone. The cheap in me won't even allow me to overpay when using "free money"!!!

Anyone have any interesting bucks purchase stories to share that might show a different perspective for using them?

For the last year and a half so far I use all my eBay bucks on junk silver coins. I buy it by the once and when it arrives I put in a safety deposit box. It adds up quick and some day I will just hand it all down to my daughter for her to do what she wants with it. This will be the first quarter where I may not make the minimum $5. I took a break this quarter.

Well, I went ahead and did it this time. I resisted the urge to just pay for items I had already bought our will buy and went in search of some items that I probably wouldn't otherwise buy. I have signatures for both of these guys already, but have always liked this set. I don't expect to ever get the Mantle or the triple, but now have 1/2 of the signed set for essentially $10 out of pocket.

I love those "The Franchise" cards. Need to find a way to get that triple at some point.

If you have a grand+, then it won't be hard to grab one!

I picked up a few baseball related books.

Excellent pickups!
I to did not make it this quarter after having 3-10x the minimum amount typically.

I have and will overspend on a card with ebay bucks if it gets my out of pocket expense below my valued amount on said card.

Very nice ! I too like those and may consider the Triple someday. There is something about the Yaz sig going the opposite direction on that card that has always bugged me though ;(
