"Has anyone under 30 ever bid on something on eBay?"

I'm under 30, and I just won two auctions in the past week, bidding on many more to buy at the lowest price.

Really, we're posting articles from Pando? And it's from Sarah Lacey to boot. This article can't be anything but accurate. Oh, hold on, never mind...

100% agree. The poster just wasn't thinking. But nor was the Author. I just bought 6 Computer Parts on Ebay! I am only 28. The Computer parts were by far the cheapest place to buy them and they worked 100% out of the box. I saved nearly $1,000 by buying them on Ebay.

Brand New goes to Amazon and Sometimes Ebay. But Second Hand items, I always hit up Ebay.

I'm 20 and use it all the time. Don't people buy used things anymore?

Not in my experience. I can't sell any of my used stuff on ebay these days, however years ago it used to be great. These days i basically have to throw stuff out! Things i've tried to move: speakers, leather jackets, fridges- nobody wants it on ebay any more. It's just a buy-it-now-opolis these days.

Set market prices and it will sell

No freecycle-like groups in your area?
