I have been more inclined to buy on eBay lately because of the gains the Canadian dollar has made on the US dollar. For example. In the beginning of February I could bid and won an auction for $100 US. That would have cost me $158 CAD. Right now the same auction would cost me $147. Combine that withe the apparent down turn in prices due to the poor economy, threat of war, or time of year and it is a nice time to pick up some extra items. The sucky part is I mostly sell on eBay.
