9 Classic Doctor Who DVD's for $2 each at Goodwill!
There were about 30 there, but I left the ones I already had so someone else could score. Well....except for the second copy of The Two Doctors which I plan to flip on eBay for a $50-100.
All were in beautiful shape.

I just got a whole bunch of Valiant TPBs for free! Somebody just mailed them to me. Not sure why but you can't argue with free.

That's a great haul. Tom is my Doctor, I've only got a few dvd's though: Robot, The Ark In Space, The Sontaran Experiment, Genesis of the Daleks, Revenge of the Cybermen, Seeds of Doom, & The Power of Kroll.Tim wrote:They were all Tom Baker ones except for the Two Doctors and Survival.

City of Death is an all time fav of mine - it's high on my must have list.
I really like all the other doctors except Sylvester, eventually I will branch out & collect their DVDs too.

Re: Bragging rights - your best deal of late?
My favorite doctors are Baker, Troughton, and Pertwee. In that order. And I do like Sylvester. The Curse of Fenric is one of my favorite stories. 
Edit: Genesis of the Daleks is the absolute BEST Dr. Who story.

You gotta tell me how you successfully win snipes. I've been setting them for over a month and nothing. I recently lost an auction by 34 cents. I bid 11.37 (or some weird number) - bid at 3s. Outbid.Phantom wrote:http://www.ebay.com/itm/271311098878

Most of the time however, I get outbid by 20-30 dollars or so, so I don't usually regret those. eBay be crazy.

Re,ember you always lose by only a small amount

I think snipe works really well. You do not get creeping bids of £1 or £0.50 to beat your bid.
If I put in my top offer a week ago, people think it is worth something as someone else wants it. And will keep bidding ( sometimes) until they beat my bid.
If I snipe the amount I want to pay is dropped 10 sec before the end. No creeping bids. To snipe makes me pay less, and win more.
To prove it works, when I lose - I wish I would of bided more

Re: Bragging rights - your best deal of late?
That's the difference in what the next buyer's bid kicked-in at. It doesn't mean you lost by 34 cents, for all you know he could have had a $100 bid. Sometimes you see 2 or 3 bids on an item that sold at opening bid by the opening bidder. That means that individual twice raised his/her bid, so again, what that person was willing to spend is anyone's guess but you definitely wouldn't win it if you bid in the next available increment ($10.05, 10.10, etc.).lorddunlow wrote:You gotta tell me how you successfully win snipes.
