Recent eBay Bargains ♥

Recently I’ve really got back into eBay and hunting for a bargain! I stopped using it a little while ago as I was put off using it as I was scammed as a seller so I kind of got annoyed with eBay. But as a buyer it’s much more fun to use, and lately I’ve picked up loads of bargains! Both new and second hand, you can find some really amazing stuff if you have the patience to look hard enough. Usually the real bargain listings are brief or contain misspellings or ones with hardly any information sell for cheapest. For example, I often come across listings just titled ‘dress’ without much other info. So if you like to take a gamble, it can often be worth it! Here’s what I’ve bought…

These Cath Kidston mugs are probably the biggest bargain of all! This whole set of 5 mugs cost me £2.20! They were listed as collection only and only a few miles away from my house so I went over to collect them from the lady one evening. I felt bad giving her £2.20 so I actually gave her a fiver in the end. Still a bargain, we were both happy! These little mugs retail for £6 each, so over a massive 90% saving there, and I already have two of these mugs so now I have a whole set!

Another amazing Cath Kidston bargain, I found this Briar Rose print clutch bag listed as a ‘Make an Offer’ or ‘Buy it Now’ for £15. I made an offer for £12 and it was accepted! I also had a £5 voucher eBay sent me, so I got it for only £7 in total! It’s brand new with tags, I couldn’t believe it when I saw it still had the £45 price tag on! Briar Rose is one of my favourite CK prints, and I just love this bag!

Bikinis bikinis bikinis! All three of these come from Hong Kong sellers and are cheaper than even Primark swimwear. I wore the striped one on holiday in Tenerife and I was a bit worried it might be see through or really poor quality and fall apart, but it’s still going strong! I’ve not yet worn the pink polka dot one! I found these beauties through looking for high waisted bikinis, and the UK ones go for loads, so I took a bit of a gamble and ordered these Chinese ones. And I love them! Although I had to order size L and XL because their sizings are tiny, these fitted me fine. The black floral print one is my favourite!

I’m really chuffed with this coat I found. I won it for only £2.50 plus £2.50 postage, and it’s basically brand new from New Look. It was perfect as a transition coat between winter and spring, as it’s nice a lightweight and I love the lighter colour, as originally I wanted a black mac but I prefer this one now!

Now onto the dresses… I have a special search set up where it shows me all the listings of dresses in my size ending within 12 hours, and the prices are listed from the lowest. This means I can spot the best bargains that are about to end! So these are the dresses I’ve picked up (prices in bold include the P&P charges I paid).
