What was your best e-Bay bargain of 2011?

Horsey:
*Stubben Parzival dressage saddle (ex cond) £213, RRP is about £850 i think!
*BN Mountain Horse "mountain rider" boots £47 norm £75 + postage perfect for hacking out in to keep my joddy boots clean :)

Non-horsey:
*Superdry joggers (almost new) £15 inc postage, RRP £45
*Grays hockey astros £7 (literally new worn max 2/3 times) Normally sold at about £50

Had some great clothing deals on ebay especially with dresses & made some money on some rugs I won from eventing a few years ago ... .not that I go on ebay a lot or anything ;)
 
I got a beautiful Mal Byrne bridle, barely used for half price what it is worth new :D Mal makes the most beautiful bridles, and this one was exactly what I was about to order! I got it for it's starting bid, couldn't believe no one else had seen it!
 
See I don't mind of I sell a 'bargain'. I recently sold 3 Karen Millen dresses they went for £12, £15 & £22 seeing as I bought them for £120, £140, £180 & they had only been worn a couple of times so were as new :o people did get a 'bargain'.
But they were just sat in my wardrobe, I was very unlikely to wear them again & I got £50.

I think if you really are selling stuff that you have no use for then even if they go for a pittance it's getting money for decluttering :)
 
Exercise sheet for £20, Amigo Fly Rug for £20, Heavyweight turnout for £30, Tubtrug buckets for half the RRP :D All brand new too.. Kent & Masters Saddle for £350.. Used few times, Excellent condition! I buy everything on eBay if I can find it cheaper than local tack shop or other websites!

I got a lovely leather dressage girth for £5 it was even better when it arrived and it was Albion !! Not sure the lady knew what she had x
 
Not really horsey, but have just won a brand new Wallis dress, rrp £58 for £10.00, and it was what I have wanted for ages. Have bought loads of designer shoes from Office, Dune, Ravel, Kurt Geiger and Carvela, and being a complete and utter shoe freak, I have done really well. Have bought loads for Mini TX, mainly Hollister and Jack Wills for some seriously good prices, mainly from American sellers oddly enough. My best bargain I reckon was a £350 italian designer jacket from Artigiano (love this make for work) for £6.00. I have about 10 work jackets by this designer, all costing hundreds of pounds brand new, all for bargain prices, most of them unworn. Haveing lost a lot of weight this year I have had a lot of fun.

I also sold a 16 and ahalf inch Wintec dressage saddle that I was given when we bought Bonnie for nearly £200, and had people fighting over it.

I love ebay.
